China and Iran signed the agreement last year after years of talks, with the wide-ranging partnership set to span areas including energy, security, infrastructure and communications.
Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi and Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian announced the start of the partnership's implementation at a meeting in east China's Wuxi on Friday, Beijing's foreign ministry said in a statement.

Sanctions fail against the Iranian regime, but yet they remain the main "super grave consequence" Russia is threatened with
#Caecus #Fail
The Iranian economy has been in the dumps for years. The economy is so in the dumps you cannot get figures and it makes Egypt under the Muslim Brotherhood look like halcyon days. So obviously sanctions work.
Trade with China might pull Iran into the black. That much is true. I think it could, sanctions or no sanctions, if everything was even, but it is not.

Anonymous seems to believe the final purpose of the sanctions is just to harm the economy
How will Iran's leadership handle the Muslim "problem" in china?
Where did it all go wrong for Caecus? He used to be smart. Now, it is #Fail all the time.
Sanctions are suppose to being an opposing country to a halt to effect change of government polices or a change of governments.
Now, Caecoid is going to wield the sword of sanctions hurt people. That is bad. I am Caecus; I am morally right.
Preliminaries: If you target sanctions specifically against people only, those have since 2014 have been shown not to work.
Sanctions do hurt people. Also broad sanctions do not work, if you gradually ramp them up or go on for a long time. The bad government adapts. This is why I have opined that sanction should be sharp and short. They should be like an impulse.
Sanctions are not in and of themselves bad or always bad or whatever name you want to call it. If they are, then the US sanctions of Japan for occupying China were wrong. Do you want to argue that?
If assume that sanctions are always wrong, then the US had 2 choices in the run up WW2. They could declare war against Japan or do nothing. Would do nothing, when the Japanese invaded China be a moral position? Well would it Caecus? Defend that COA.
Caecus belongs all back of the woodshed with B Poster to get spanked by the troll boss for failing at propaganda.

"Sanctions are suppose to being an opposing country to a halt to effect change of government polices or a change of governments."
A great success in the case of Iran, right?
"Sanctions are not in and of themselves bad or always bad or whatever name you want to call it. If assume that sanctions are always wrong"
I said neither, you are failing to understand what you read and you are using strawmen.
Caecus believe the sanctions against Iran failed.
We know what Iran does with money not needed to keep their regime on life support. They export it to Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon, Africa, South AMerica and Europe for military and terrorists operations.'
Less money due to sanctions means less mayhem. So yes, sanctions have worked. Iran has had to cut back on their monthly terrorist stipends to terrorist central casting.
"When the dust settled from the latest Gaza showdown, Hamas and other militant groups had killed more Israeli civilians than the entire fifty-day war of 2014, firing nearly as many rockets but concentrated in just one-fifth the time. On May 21, Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh praised Iran for enabling this intense bombardment,
noting that Tehran “did not hold back with money, weapons, and technical support.”
