Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (@SecScottBessent) stated it with surgical precision before Trump even landed in Beijing: “Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism and China has been buying 90% of their energy — so they are funding the largest state sponsor of terrorism.”
Read that again. China is not neutral. China is not simply a trade partner with complicated interests. The implication about China’s role in terrorism is clear.
Mr. Bessent is right.
China is the financial backbone of the IRGC, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis — one oil barrel at a time. In a way, Iran is also the middle man.
While the U.S. Navy was eliminating Iranian speed boats in the Strait of Hormuz under Project Freedom, Beijing was quietly signing the checks that kept those boats fueled and armed.
That is not a conspiracy theory. That is basic accounting.
Bessent Drops the China Bombshell
Bessent’s message to Beijing ahead of Trump’s trip was unmistakable: join us or stay quiet.
China cannot keep purchasing Iranian oil at 90% volume while simultaneously claiming it wants regional stability.
Those two positions are incompatible.
The Strait of Hormuz crisis — the blocked shipping, the spiking oil prices hitting American families at the pump — has a Chinese financial fingerprint on every layer of it.
Washington is done pretending otherwise.
Oil Barrels Soaked in Blood
This is the logical and moral implication that cannot be avoided.
Every barrel China buys from Iran keeps the regime alive, the IRGC funded, and American soldiers in danger.
Isaiah 5:20 warns — woe to those who call evil good.
Beijing calls it economic cooperation. Bessent calls it what it is. So do I. China funds terror.
The evidence isn’t hidden — it’s 90% of Iran’s entire energy revenue. 🇺🇸⚠️🔥
Let’s say things as they are #AmericaFirst #China #middleeastwars
