Iran’s Midterm Gamble and China’s Lifeline to Iran | Why Communism’s History Still Matters

Joel Rayburn, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute’s Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East, joins NTD’s Steve Lance to unpack the White House’s hybrid strategy against the Iranian regime, China’s role as an economic lifeline for Tehran, and reports that Beijing may be helping Iran target U.S. interests. Rayburn also weighs in on Iran’s midterm gamble and how China is helping keep the regime afloat.

China’s role abroad also raises a broader question about the influence and legacy of communist regimes. The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation is launching a first-of-its-kind film festival exposing the horrors, deception, and human cost of communist regimes. The films spotlight those who lived under communism, those who resisted it, and warnings about how those ideas can take root closer to home. We sit down with Eric Patterson, president of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, to discuss the festival and its message.
