(Worthy News) – A network of Chinese petrochemical refiners is behind an upswing in the importation of illicit Iranian crude oil, providing the hardline regime in Tehran with at least $22 billion in revenue since President Joe Biden took office.

China’s use of these teapots is part of a coordinated effort to evade international sanctions on Iran’s oil trade, according to UANI.
