Ex-IDF commander voices alarm at intel-sharing included in Iran-China megadeal

[IsraelTimes] Amos Yadlin, the former chief of the IDF Military Intelligence Directorate, expresses concern about a clause in the 25-year strategic cooperation mega-deal signed by Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979.

Yadlin’s comments come after China and Iran signed the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership on Saturday, a 25-year-long strategic agreement between the two countries to address economic issues in Iran amid crippling US sanctions.

reported that China will invest some $400 billion in Iran in exchange for oil as part of the deal. The deal could undermine US leverage over Iran ahead of expected negotiations and lessen American influence in the Middle East.
