CENTCOM Chief Warns of Growing Iran-China-Russia Pact

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) Gen. Michael Kurilla told Congress on Thursday that he’s “very concerned” about the burgeoning alliance between Iran, China and Russia and the “global implications” of the bloc.

Kurilla made the comments during a House Armed Services Committee hearing, detailing the national security challenges in the Middle East and Africa.

“Collectively, Iran, Russia, and China are strengthening their relationships and fostering a chaotic landscape favorable to their exploitation,” Kurilla told lawmakers, later adding, “The ramifications of this partnership will have global implications.”
