THE TRUMP administration’s “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran has
manifestly failed to achieve either its stated or unstated aims: It has
not forced Iran to renegotiate the nuclear accord from which President
Trump unwisely withdrew; nor has it ended Iranian aggression in the
Middle East or caused the regime of Ali Khamenei to collapse. Now it may
result in a powerful new blow to U.S. interests, in the form of an
Iranian partnership with China that could rescue Iran’s economy while
giving Beijing a powerful new place in the region.
