1 Blackburn: Reports of China, Russia Intel Given to Iran Suggests an ‘Axis of Evil’

Blackburn: Reports of China, Russia Intel Given to Iran Suggests an ‘Axis of Evil’
Jeff Poor19 Jul 20268

Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), the Republican nominee for governor in Tennessee, reacted to reports that Iran could be receiving intelligence from Russia and China that is allowing it to strike targets with “unusual precision.”

During an appearance on FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” the Tennessee lawmaker called Russia and China, along with North Korea and Iran, the “axis of evil.”

“I was reading earlier open-source intelligence and their reporting that U.S. officials suspect China or Russia may be feeding Iran targeted data after Tehran struck sensitive sites within unusual precision — with unusual precision,” host Maria Bartiromo said. “How are they finding out specifically where our bases and information infrastructure is? Do you believe China is behind it?”

Blackburn replied, “Of course China is involved in this, Maria. China is part of that axis of evil. You have got Russia, China, Iran, North Korea. They are partners in this, and we know that they are sharing data. We know that they have been building, Iran’s been building drones that Russia is using as they’re fighting Ukraine. And you look at this neighborhood that they have developed with Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea and you know their goal, China’s goal, is to be globally dominant by 2050.”

“It is one of the reasons we have to block some of this activity that they’re doing in the Middle East with Russia and also with Cuba,” she added.

3 And we (reluctantly, myself included) continue to shop at Target, Walmart, Best-Buy, Amazon, and others where the shelves are stocked with Chinese manufactured products.

When will we awaken? These people are NOT our friends, and those who collaborate with them in India may not be either.

Trivandrum, officially known as Thiruvananthapuram, is the capital city of the Indian state of Kerala, located in the extreme south of India along the Arabian Sea.

Trivandrum is situated on the west coast of India near the southern tip of the mainland, making it the southernmost district of Kerala. The city lies between 8°29′15″ North latitude and 76°57′9″ East longitude and covers an area of approximately 214 km², with a population of around 957,730 in the city and over 1.7 million in the metropolitan area

Kerala’s proximity to China is mainly through maritime trade routes and the Mumbai–Kanyakumari Economic Corridor, not direct road projects. The state’s own road developments, like the Coastal Highway, are domestic but part of a larger national connectivity strategy that could link to international trade, including with China.
