Bessent accused of misjudging China's role in Iran's nuclear program

Original: Bessent is wrong: China armed Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions

A new opinion piece in The Hill argues that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is wrong to downplay China's role in arming Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions. The article claims Beijing supplied materials or support that advanced Iran's nuclear program, directly contradicting Bessent's position. The claim is fueling debate over US-China relations and American policy toward Iran's nuclear activities.

Why now: The article directly challenges a senior US official's stance on China-Iran nuclear ties amid ongoing tensions.
