Abstract

This article analyzes the shifting dynamics of Iran-China-US triangle. In the last fifty years, US has played an important role in shaping the course of Iran-China relations. In recent years, the United States has put increasing pressure on both countries. US pressure has created a growing sense of insecurity in Iran and China and paved the way for closer ties between the two countriesThe United States has paradoxically pushed Iran and China closer together. In its new configuration, the China-Iran-U.S. triangle operates according to a new logic.
