(1) The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Ac-
tion 
(JCPOA) 
provided 
Iran 
with 
over 
$100,000,000,000 in sanctions relief, circumventing 
mandatory sanctions imposed by the Congress of the 
United States. 
(2) 
The 
Obama 
Administration 
delivered 
$400,000,000 in cash to Iran in 2016. 
(3) President Trump wisely removed the United 
States from the disastrous JCPOA on May 8, 2018, 
and implemented a campaign of maximum economic 
pressure on Iran until the regime ends its nuclear 
program, its pursuit of ballistic missiles, its support 
of terrorism and regional destabilization, and re-
leases all United States hostages. 
(4) Iran and China signed a 25-year strategic 
economic cooperation agreement on March 27, 2021. 
(5) This agreement involves a transfer of 
$400,000,000,000 from the Chinese Communist

Christians, raiding house churches, and attempting 
to shut down houses of worship not endorsed by the 
government. 
(8) The Iranian government is perpetrating vio-
lence against its own people, including through the 
killing of protesters, and the persecution of women 
and religious minorities. It is also involved in severe 
violations of human rights throughout the Middle 
East, including supporting the brutal Assad regime 
in Syria. 
(9) China has increased its purchases of oil 
from Iran, in violation of United States sanctions, in 
the past few months. Such oil sales would be per-
mitted if the United States lifts sanctions on Iran 
and re-enters the failed Iran nuclear deal. 
(10) The failed Iran nuclear deal required that 
the United Nations arms embargo on Iran expire in 
October 2020, which permits China to sell arms to 
Iran, and permits Iran to sell arms to China. 
(11) The United States Government unequivo-
cally condemns the Hamas-incited terrorist attacks 
originating from Israeli land currently occupied by 
Hamas.

terrorist attacks.
