The developments in the international system in recent decades and the intensification of great power competition have led the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran to redefine its strategic orientations. In response to Western economic sanctions, the “Look East” policy has been strengthened by focusing on deepening relations with China. The present study aims to analyze the security and strategic dimensions of Iran-China trade relations and explain its role in reducing the effects of sanctions. The qualitative-analytical research method is simultaneous with a mixed design; in this way, thematic analysis of policy documents and scientific sources is integrated with a quantitative analysis of bilateral trade trends in the period 2010-2023. Quantitative data were extracted from international databases and analyzed using a linear-exponential hybrid interpolation model and cross-validation. The findings show that the expansion of energy-based cooperation, the use of non-dollar financial mechanisms, and the geopolitical alignment of Tehran and Beijing have strengthened Iran’s economic resilience against sanctions pressures; However, dependence on crude exports, limited trade diversification, and a weak international payment system remain challenges. The results suggest that the continuation of the Look East policy, if accompanied by structural reforms and active economic diplomacy, can lead to strengthening Iran's economic security and strategic independence.
