Bessent just connected every dot,like I wrote i my latest article. China bought 90% of Iran's oil exports. That's almost 10% of China's total imports. Now the blockade cuts it off. And the US is warning Chinese banks: process Iranian payments = secondary sanctions. This isn't just an energy...

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇮🇷 The U.S. isn't just pressuring Iran and Venezuela. It's engineering an energy stranglehold on China. 97% of Iranian oil tankers flow directly to China. Venezuela feeds the same pipeline. Both are under maximum US pressure. Beijing built these back-channel supply routes specifically to bypass Western financial systems and sanctions regimes. Now think about what a counter-blockade of the Strait of Hormuz actually does. It cuts off China's off-books oil supply. AI Telly

BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇨🇳 The U.S. just gave China an ultimatum. Buy Iranian oil. Face 100% tariffs. China imports 37.7% of its oil through the Gulf. Much of it from Iran. This is not a warning. This is an economic weapon aimed directly at Beijing. The trade war just became an energy war.

America didn’t start this war to stop Iran. It started it to stop China from killing the dollar. 90% of Iranian oil = Chinese oil. Block Hormuz = block Beijing’s energy supply. Iran is just the excuse. China is the target. Dollar is the motive. #USA #Iran #China #Israel #Oil

🚨TRUMP JUST TOOK THE QUEEN China just DUMPED Iranian oil… and started buying from ALASKA instead. The same country that armed Iran and laughed at U.S. sanctions is now buying American oil. Why? Alaska is closer. Hormuz is shut. Iran became too risky. Trump didn’t just close the Strait… He redirected billions in Chinese demand straight to American soil. Iran loses its biggest customer. America gains it. This isn’t luck. This is chess. And Trump just ended the game.🇺🇸

The Trump administration has intensified sanctions against Iran in addition to its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The new sanctions aim to stop Iran’s oil exports and its financial sector and curtail the country's nuclear ambitions. Al Jazeera’s Um-e-Kulsoom Shariff explains.

🇨🇳"CHINA IS PREPARING FOR AN INVASION OF TAIWAN" The US will soon be involved in the conflict against Iran. China will see this as a major provocation. Why? China is Iran's biggest oil client, with the country's private refiners buying most of Iran's sanctioned crude. The two sides have established a trade relationship favorable for both. This is happening despite ongoing US sanctions on Iran's oil exports. I am convinced that Israel and the United States will dismantle Iran's oil infrastructure, which implies that China will be unable to purchase oil from Iran. I think China will see that as an act of war.

Scott Bessent: We've unsanctioned Iranian oil, "but no one other than China, who was already buying it when it was sanctioned, has bought it," because the buyers worry about getting in trouble with the US. China is not afraid of US sanctions, and is the only country that can win a trade war with the US. Most importantly, China buys oil, US steals oil.

China ordered its companies to ignore US sanctions on Iran. Rubio just told China that ignoring those sanctions will trigger secondary sanctions. Trump flies to Beijing in nine days. After China's Ministry of Commerce invoked its Blocking Statute ordering all Chinese entities not to comply with US sanctions on Iranian oil buyers, Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded publicly and without ambiguity: "If you ignore our sanctions, you're going to face secondary sanctions. And I don't have an announcement for you today, but we don't do these things for symbolic purposes." Secondary sanctions are not symbolic. They target anyone who does business with the already-sanctioned entities. Any Chinese bank, shipping company, or financial institution that processes transactions for the five sanctioned Chinese petrochemical companies risks being cut off from the US financial system entirely. For a country whose entire economic model depends on dollar-denominated global trade, that threat has real consequences. Rubio also made Beijing's own economic self-interest the argument. China is an export economy. Iran is currently threatening the Strait of Hormuz. Rubio put it plainly: "You can't buy from them if you can't ship it there." China is financing the military that is closing the waterway its own exports depend on. Beijing's Blocking Statute makes compliance with US sanctions illegal under Chinese law. Rubio just made non-compliance expensive under US law. Every Chinese company in this chain now has to choose which legal system it fears more.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 This war has always been about one country. And it's not Iran... Every headline is about Iran. Every briefing is about nukes and the Strait of Hormuz. Every anchor is on U.S.-Iran escalation. But the real story is in the numbers. 97.6% of the 157 million barrels of Iranian oil currently at sea is heading to China. The blockade of Iranian ports that began isn't squeezing Iran's economy nearly as much as it's squeezing China's oil supply chain. Iran spent the last decade building shadow infrastructure for exactly this moment: pipelines, ports, and tanker fleets engineered specifically to feed Chinese refineries while evading American sanctions. That entire system is now under pressure.

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇮🇷 The real test of Trump's blockade has nothing to do with Iran, it’s whether the U.S. Navy will stop Chinese tankers. China officially imports zero oil from Iran, its customs records have shown that since 2022. Yet its imports of "Malaysian" crude mysteriously hit 1.3 million barrels per day last year, more than double Malaysia's entire oil production. The shadow fleet is already probing the blockade, with a Chinese-owned sanctioned tanker called the Rich Starry tried exiting the strait flying a Malawian flag. But it was forced it to turn around. No Chinese warships have been deployed to escort tankers, but Beijing appears to be calling Trump’s bluff through plausible deniability rather than direct confrontation. Far more dangerous, because it has no clear escalation point. Washington could face more difficult choices as this blockade continues: Should they board a Chinese-flagged vessel and risk a diplomatic crisis with the world's second largest military, or let the shadow fleet keep running and render the blockade toothless? The blockade doesn’t need to stop every barrel, it needs to make the cost of continuing the trade higher than the cost of stopping it. Whether Beijing agrees is the only question that matters.

🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Sec Rubio just reframed the entire blockade narrative: "The blockade is not a blockade against shipping. It's a blockade against Iranian shipping. They cannot be the sole beneficiaries of an illegal, unlawful, and unjustified system of tolling and control in the straits." What he's saying: Iran can collect Hormuz tolls or it can ship its own oil. Not both. The U.S. just made clear what Iran's new peace proposal has to swallow if it wants the blockade lifted. The toll booth has to come down too.

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇮🇷 China just ordered its companies to ignore U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil, days before the Xi-Trump summit and in direct defiance of Treasury warnings. Former CIA Analyst Larry Johnson says the era of U.S. financial bullying is over. China has weaned itself off the U.S. market while America still depends on China for pharmaceuticals, rare earth minerals, and critical military production materials. There is not a single thing the U.S. produces that China needs. The same cannot be said in reverse. SonofNewAmericanRevolution

INSIGHTS: 🇨🇳🇮🇷 Connect the dots on China and Iran this week. China armed Iran with weapons. China dumped U.S. Treasuries. China bought discounted Iranian oil. Now China openly defies the U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil. The U.S. threatened 100% tariffs. China said: we don't recognize your authority. Iran proposed nuclear concessions yesterday. China kept their oil revenue flowing today. This is not defiance. This is a parallel world order being built in real time.

Military could go unfunded. Over a dozen vessels already complied with the blockade — NOBODY is testing it. TRUMP MASTERCLASS!

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇨🇳 What if this war was never really about Iran? While everyone watches missiles and oil prices, the real pressure point is energy. Kharg Island handles around 90% of Iran’s oil exports, and most of that oil flows to Asia, especially China. That’s the part people are starting to connect. If Iranian oil gets disrupted, China loses a major cheap energy source. And in a global economy built on energy costs, that matters more than any single strike. Some analysts believe China was the real target. Source: hanocrypto

NEW; U.S. Seizes CHINESE -owned Tanker off VENEZUELA coast!! U.S. Coast Guard interdicted and seized a Panama-flagged oil tanker named Centuries off the coast of Venezuela in international waters. This is the most recent seizure, following an earlier one on December 10 involving the tanker Skipper. Industry sources indicate that the cargo on the Centuries belongs to an established China-based oil trader with a history of importing Venezuelan crude to Chinese refineries, aligning with descriptions of Chinese ownership or control. The vessel itself is not publicly listed under U.S. sanctions (unlike the prior Skipper), and the operation follows President Trump's announcement of a blockade on sanctioned oil tankers related to Venezuela. This action escalates U.S. enforcement of sanctions on Venezuelan oil exports, much of which goes to China via shadow fleets.
