Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and seven of her Republican colleagues have introduced legislation aimed at weakening the relationship between Iran and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

“Iran would love nothing more than to enter into another nuclear deal that props up their terrorist activity and also benefits their fellow New Axis of Evil partner—Communist China,” Ms. Blackburn said in a Dec. 5 statement accompanying the legislation.
