When President Trump talks about a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz as a way to "kill Iran's economy," we need to remember who stands behind Iran's resilience. Above all, it is China, and not only as a buyer of oil, but as a strategic partner that benefits from Iran remaining a destabilizing force in the Middle East. Russia, of course, as well, but Russia is bogged down in Ukraine. Iran is a tool. For China, Iran serves one simple purpose: to keep the Middle East in a state of chronic instability, which costs the US money, attention, and reputation. โ—พ๏ธ First, the Iran war is pulling American potential away from Asia right now. The US has deployed the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group, two destroyers, two naval task forces, and Patriot and THAAD systems to the Middle East, depleting its stockpile of Tomahawk cruise missiles, which are critical for a potential Taiwan scenario. โ—พ๏ธ Second, the crisis translates into a blow to the American authority and concessions. Every Middle Eastern war weakens the trust of Asian allies in the United States. Japan and South Korea are already experiencing delays in deliveries of ordered US weapons. Taiwan is watching as Washington trades off its security for the sake of a summit with Beijing: Trump delayed a multi-billion-dollar arms package to Taiwan so as not to jeopardize the summit with President Xi. โ—พ๏ธ Third, China is the sole beneficiary of the oil blockade of Iran. Despite sanctions, Iran earned $54 billion in 2022 and $53 billion in 2023. Where does this oil go? To China. More than 90% of Iranian oil exports are absorbed by the Chinese market, primarily through networks of small independent oil refineries in Shandong province. The scheme is worked out down to the last detail. Iranian tankers turn off their transponders, transfer oil "ship-to-ship" off the coast of Malaysia, relabel the cargo as Malaysian or Indonesian, and settle payments in yuan through small banks outside the dollar infrastructure. In 2025, these shadow tankers made over 1,500 voyages from Iran to China. โ—พ๏ธ Fourth, Iran is increasingly serving as a testing ground for China's indirect military-technical support. According to US officials, the Chinese company SMIC supplied Iranian military structures with equipment for chip production and, likely, technical training. Ships carrying sodium perchlorate - a key component of solid rocket fuel - were set to depart from Chinese ports. Iran was also nearing a deal to purchase Chinese CM-302 supersonic anti-ship missiles, which pose a direct threat to US ships in the Gulf. And US intelligence is now recording possible preparations to transfer MANPADS to Iran via third countries. Some claims regarding deeper support, particularly concerning BeiDou and Chinese air defense systems, remain disputed, but the overall direction is clear: China is helping Iran not only survive under pressure but also raise the cost of the US military presence in the region. Therefore, a US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is not pointless in terms of pressuring Iran, as it could physically cut off a significant portion of exports that ultimately go to China. But it is a crude instrument: it hurts not only Iran and China, but the entire energy system of the region, global prices, and US allies. That is precisely why this move is both powerful and strategically toxic.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธIran Isn't the Enemy - It's the Battlefield in a U.S.-China Proxy War: President Donald Trump announced that U.S. forces intercepted an Iranian-flagged cargo ship, the M/V Touska, which was allegedly carrying what he described as โ€œgifts from Chinaโ€ intended to restock Iranโ€™s military. Trump appeared surprised by the contents of the Chinese cargo bound for Iran. It seems he believed he had an understanding with Chinese President Xi Jinping that China would not supply weapons or military-related materials to Iran. While Trump referred to the shipment as โ€œgiftsโ€ from China, the cargo is likely composed of dual-use items that could support Iranโ€™s weapons programs, missile production, or broader military sustainment. Many observers are now asking why China would send such components to Iran at this time. Doesnโ€™t Beijing want the conflict to end? The answer is yes - but only on its own terms. China wants the fighting to stop provided the current Iranian regime remains in power. A significantly weakened Iran would not serve Chinese interests. Iran serves as a strategic node in Chinaโ€™s Belt and Road Initiative and acts as an important counterweight to U.S. influence in the Middle East and South Asia. In my view, the conflict has evolved into a proxy war between the United States and China.

For decades, weak American politicians let China hollow out our manufacturing base, steal intellectual property, manipulate currency, and buy influence in Washington while they got rich off the deal.

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.

Iran tested him for months but Trump used peace through strength after crushing their navy missiles and nuclear sites. Allies like Saudi Arabia China and the UAE are now piling on pressure. Twenty five billion in frozen Iranian assets sit ready as carrots if they deliver real progress. Oil prices already falling with predictions of gas dropping to two fifty a gallon by fall. Trump refuses to rush knowing America holds all the cards after 47 years of Iranian aggression. This smart approach avoids past mistakes like Iraq where we won the war but lost the peace.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณIf America Canโ€™t Handle Iranian Missiles, Itโ€™s Not Ready for China In just the first 16 days of war against Iran, the United States expended nearly 40% of its THAAD interceptors. If Americaโ€™s most advanced air defenses are struggling against Iranโ€”a regional power with a fraction of Chinaโ€™s capabilitiesโ€”there is no plausible scenario in which the US is ready for a showdown with Beijing. The Chinese Arsenal The Peopleโ€™s Liberation Army operates the worldโ€™s largest missile inventory, backed by a rapid-action doctrine designed to dismantle U.S. bases and infrastructure in the early stages of conflict. Unlike Iranโ€™s Kheibar Shikan and Sejjil missiles, Chinaโ€™s DF-27 anti-ship ballistic missile and DF-17 hypersonic glide vehicle offer advanced mid-air maneuverability and sustained hypersonic speeds. With an estimated range of 8,000 kilometers, the DF-27 places U.S. naval installations at Pearl Harbor and Everett, Washington within striking distanceโ€”allowing China to threaten American assets without deploying a single ship. Strategic Implications According to Dr. Andrew Erickson of the US Naval War College, China is the first nation to operationalize an armed ICBM. These capabilities could cripple U.S. operational effectiveness across East Asia and complicate the defense of American interests in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and the Philippines in the event of armed conflict. Depleted Defenses Even as Patriot and THAAD struggle against less sophisticated Iranian missiles, Western analysts warn that a large-scale Chinese attack could overwhelm U.S. defenses by depleting interceptor inventories entirely. With THAAD replenishment not expected until April 2027, the fragility of current stockpiles is increasingly difficult to ignore. The Central Question If US air defenses are depleted in the Middle East after just over two weeks of fighting Iran, how will they withstand a Chinese arsenal that dwarfs Iranโ€™sโ€”particularly when the DF-27 can already reach American soil?

The deeper I get into this war, the more convinced I am it was never really about Iran. It started with China, and according to Anas Alhajji, it ended with China too His read is that the MOU isn't a concession to Iran at all. It's the US and China quietly dividing up the spoils. Notice the timing. The moment Trump left China, everything changed, the rhetoric cooled, the ships started moving, the deal accelerated And China outplayed Trump at every turn. He thought he had leverage with LNG and oil exports, until China simply replaced US supply with Russia. They cut imports, filled their reserves, leaned on floating storage, and stayed two to three weeks ahead of EVERY American move, from Venezuela to Maduro to Iran. Either they have direct lines in, or they're listening. Here's the catch Anas kept coming back to: the US can choke Hormuz, but starving China would take eight or nine months, long enough to collapse the world economy first The wildest part? Anas believes those US strikes near Hormuz mid-negotiation were a favor to Tehran, wiping out IRGC holdouts who refused the deal and were building toll infrastructure of their own. Anas Alhajji

My takeaways from Day 1 of Trump-Xi summit Beijing knows President Trump likes the red carpet rolled out for him -- and they certainly delivered. Trump was greeted with all the pomp and circumstance: an elaborate military ceremony, friendly rhetoric, and both leaders speaking about shared cooperation and the long history of U.S.-China ties. Trump even called it an "honor" to be Xi Jinping's friend, calling him a "great leader". TAIWAN Beneath all the platitudes, simmering tensions. Xi delivered a stark warning on Taiwan -- that if the issue is handled "improperly", it could lead to "conflict". The real question hanging over this summit: will China use what Trump wants on Iran and other issues to extract concessions? The concern among some in natsec world is that Xi will press for reduced U.S. arms sales to Taiwan โ€” or seek language from Washington outright opposing Taiwan independence. IRAN The Trump administration came here wanting China to use its influence over Tehran to help end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The White House readout mentioned the two sides agreed the Strait of Hormuz must remain open and that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. But the Chinese readout of the meeting didn't mention Iran's nuclear program or the Strait, saying only that the Middle East was discussed. That tracks with what experts have been telling me: Beijing doesn't want to get pulled in too deep - they see this war as America's problem to solve. WHITE HOUSE READOUT The White House readout was largely what was expected โ€” economic cooperation, expanding access for American businesses in China, increased Chinese purchases of U.S. agricultural products, and continued pressure on fentanyl flows. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the two sides will discuss forming a board of trade and board of investment to manage bilateral trade/investment in non-sensitive areas. Bessent also said the two leaders will talk AI: โ€œThe two AI superpowers are going to start talking, weโ€™re going to set up a protocol in terms of how do we go forward with best practices for AI to make sure non-state actors donโ€™t get ahold of these models," Bessent said. BOTTOM LINE So far, it looks like China is getting what it wants. Beijing gets to showcase itself as an equal power standing alongside the United States on the world stage. State media is already portraying this visit as a major diplomatic victory for China. Some commentary in China is framing this trip as proof that Trump needs China more than China needs Trump, pointing out how Trump has been weakened by the war in Iran amid low polling numbers.

My takeaways from Day 1 of Trump-Xi summit Beijing knows President Trump likes the red carpet rolled out for him -- and they certainly delivered. Trump was greeted with all the pomp and circumstance: an elaborate military ceremony, friendly rhetoric, and both leaders speaking about shared cooperation and the long history of U.S.-China ties. Trump even called it an "honor" to be Xi Jinping's friend, calling him a "great leader". TAIWAN Beneath all the platitudes, simmering tensions. Xi delivered a stark warning on Taiwan -- that if the issue is handled "improperly", it could lead to "conflict". The real question hanging over this summit: will China use what Trump wants on Iran and other issues to extract concessions? The concern among some in natsec world is that Xi will press for reduced U.S. arms sales to Taiwan โ€” or seek language from Washington outright opposing Taiwan independence. IRAN The Trump administration came here wanting China to use its influence over Tehran to help end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The White House readout mentioned the two sides agreed the Strait of Hormuz must remain open and that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. But the Chinese readout of the meeting didn't mention Iran's nuclear program or the Strait, saying only that the Middle East was discussed. That tracks with what experts have been telling me: Beijing doesn't want to get pulled in too deep - they see this war as America's problem to solve.

[Trump] turned the tables with his two very good tweets on Friday, talking about raising tariffs and implementing any sanctions that we need to." "Maybe it was a MISTAKEN attempt to try to gain leverage before the two leaders meet in Korea in October." "The Chinese are VERY big on symbolism! I can tell you was HIGHLY inappropriate for them to announce these export controls on the day that the peace deal was announced and overshadow that." "The Chinese economy is doing very poorly.

๐Ÿšจ BREAKING: Stephen Miller says the oil chaos in the Strait of Hormuz PROVES why President Trump had to eviscerate Iran's regime "Imagine if this regime, that right now, weaker than ever before, imagine if that regime instead had nuclear weapons, instead had long-range missiles that could reach an American city, instead was rich with cash." "A rich regime that controls commerce through the Strait of Hormuz and has nuclear weapons, has long-range weapons, think about what a terror that would be to global commerce and to the world." "This was the last chance that the United States had to take action against a regime that was planning and plotting to kill Americans and that had the ability to strangle, if it wished, global commerce in the future, backed by long-range missiles, backed by nuclear weapons!" "Remember, Obama put them on a path to enrich them with tens of billions of dollars and have a nuclear weapon right now." "So what instead you have is a dying regime, a decaying regime, a thrashing regime that is engaged in terrorism in the Strait of Hormuz." "But let's be very clear, the United States, not Iran, has the staying power." "Why? Iran produces 2% of the world's oil. America under President Trump is the number one producer of oil and fossil fuel, more than Saudi Arabia, more than Russia, more than any other nation in the world, and now we're partnering with Venezuela." Stephen Miller NAILED IT.
