The idea of China coming to Iran's defense is very laughable

[OgNasty]

China did try to come to their defense and provided them with weapons and defenses.  They just didn't work.  There is a huge gap between the technology in the American military and everyone else.

This is laughable indeed, because no one is talking about the Epstein file again since the emergency of the Iran-Israel war, however, I'm still much convinced that maybe there is reason coincidence in all this that is happening, but even if there is an iota of truth, who dares confront the strong and challenged them, we all know that for sure you're going to get intimidated, because you are weak and they are the strong.

When people talk about China coming to Iran's defense, I laugh. Iran is not worth that risk. China has over $2 trillion in treasury bond investments inthe United States economy and I don't think they will love to risk all that asset for Iran. All the showdowns we are witnessing currently in Iran are strategic ones.

Trump is using the opportunity to do a live demonstration of America's military might and power to show other global adversaries how dominant the US can be when it comes to massive attacking and defensive build-up. You can call it the act of deal 101. Iran has presented itself as an available entity for Donald Trump's operational arena, and he will capitalize on it without restraint.

China is the strategic audience of the entire showcase, because at the moment, all Beijing can do is to watch:

 How long can the US sustain deployments of a military layer of logistics.
 How fast can the US mass power its defensive artilaries

China is also finding out if alliances hold under pressure and if China itself can operate in multiple theaters of war simultaneously.

America is exercising deterrence by classic demonstration. This is the act of the deal being put into practice.

A very accurate observation. China is not foolish; China is wise and a true geopolitical player, albeit with its own peculiarities, like many others.
Iran, Russia, North Korea, and some others are just China's “guinea pigs,” which it uses to “test” the reactions of other countries and alliances and sometimes to implement its plans.
China is like a snake—it has no friends, only those who obey it, fools whom it skillfully manipulates, or victims.

[BADecker]

Note that Iran is part of BRICS, as is China. We of the West don't hear much about BRICS, not because it is weak or not doing business. Rather, it is because the western media is slanted in such a way that they simply don't tell us.

BRICS, being a financial opponent of the western banking systems, is a quasi-military alliance just as the nations of the western banking systems are aligned, somewhat, militarily. While there may not be formal alliances between Iran and China, there are formal between Russia and Iran, and Russia and China.

Russia is training China in military methods that they didn't have. And certainly, Russia isn't giving China everything that they have, just as they aren't giving everything that they have to Iran. But NO nations share their defense methods entirely.

The point is, there most certainly are hidden agreements between China and Iran, that are under the table so to speak. Nobody knows what these agreements are. And the Iran US war happenings aren't to the point where agreements need to be activated. But certainly when the point comes, China and Russia will back Iran.

Politicians in general are like that. For them, you are a tool or an enemy, nothing more, nothing less.

After all, China neither Russia care for what will happen to Iran's tyrants. When people aren't united by true bonds, principles and values that is how they behave. Not that the West can be considered a great example of how to build and keep strong and genuine bonds with allied nations these days too...

[RidleyReport]

Beijing would come to Iran's defense by taking advantage of any depleted-stockpile situation the U.S. might suffer.  The fact they've kept their cool at this time instead of invading Taiwan or something... speaks well of them... if they can just keep it up hopefully they get get to year 50 with no wars!

I called into talk radio to talk about this.. thank you.   The host was dismissive.  But I got on.

The gap is in the cost. This is the world takeover by the banks that I have been talking about. Banks can only inflate the dollar so much. Any more and the whole system will collapse.

China, Russia, Iran, and others, with their cheap stuff that they can crank out an abundance of, just might overcome the expensive toys of the American military.

[9ja Amaka]

Trust me, if there was a way that China would benefit from interfering or coming to Iran’s rescue, then they will if the benefits are worth it. Their refusal to interfere isn’t necessarily because of the bonds because if you look at the situation critically, you’ll notice that those bonds serves as leverage because should China decide to dump those bonds, it’ll not hurt their reserves but also destabilize global market, so i don’t think those bonds are the reason china is refusing to take those strategic risks.

I totally agree with you, because I don't think China are holding back because of the war, but I also agree with you that they are not going to benefit from the war, so why would they want to involve themselves,  so the best thing for them to do is to sit back and watch America waste their resources on a senseless war, which will also be to their advantage.  So I don't think China will ever involve themselves in this war, because I think this war might even weaken the USA, so its of more benefit to China.

[Dunamisx]

Iran should not expect China to come to their age in today's battle, they should forget if they are allies or not, meanwhile we should not forget also that the more the days the more the extent to the cost of this world and the implication it's placing upon the entire world, China don't fight other countries battle for them, despite their struggle to claim Taiwan, they never succeeded, they can't join Iran in this.

All your comment here are also laughable because Iran has been away to shoot down the F45 stealth fighter jets that was believed to be untouchable. Some many things are happening to the America military but the news don't want to carry it so that the world will know the truth.

The government has already tutored the mainstream media to filter bad news that will tanish the superiority of the United States. Donald Trump should stop this war so that the world can have peace again. I don't know why all these conflicts are happening when we supposed to be seeing good innovation for growth not weapons of destruction.

Yes, I agree that politics is built on cunning, manipulation, and many other specific patterns of interaction... But it’s not just individual politicians; the global system is structured this way.
Regarding China and Russia and their relations with Iran—for China, Iran is a significant oil supplier. China purchases about 1.38–1.5 million barrels of oil per day from Iran, which accounts for approximately 11–14% of China’s total oil imports. China is the largest buyer of Iranian oil, accounting for about 80–90% of Iran’s total oil exports.
In other words, China will need to find a replacement for this volume somewhere, and at the same low price. There is Russia, of course, but... China has long had a policy of diversifying its supply of critical resources, and, if I’m not mistaken, they do not allow any single supplier to account for more than 30% of their imports.
For Russia, Iran is a key supplier of weapons for continuing the terrorist war against Ukraine (UAVs, missiles) as well as a channel for the flow of sanctioned goods—they come from Iran via the Caspian Sea to Russia

Hey! Can you update us on the current situation of the war?

It seems Trump experiment is not working as planned. Perhaps, he underrated Iran and they prove him wrong. In my opinion, the US military is largely overrated and this Iran war has exposed the truth about their capability.

Both US & ISRAEL are calling for external aids ceasefire. Trump has issued numerous ultimatum that expired without fulfilment and instead of taking action, he extended the ultimatum further. He probably did not carry out his assignment accurately before initiating this war.

China is an opportunist. They are likely the beneficiary in this war. Iran never care to rely on their defense after all.

They are all allegations to my opinion and whether US has the capacity no any other country on this earth has is something which will be discussed and argued where I mentioned clarely I was not going to say yes or no, but the situation is genuinely arguments because you can't underestimste the strengths of other country is mentioned

China is busy minding her business and you call her an opportunist?! All they want to do is trade with you and build roads and developments for you, making the world a better place not unnecessarily engagement is endless war. The nation benefiting from this war has got to be Russia. They've earned back all they've lose in the last two years since the Russia/Ukraine war kicked off.

Iranian government has refused to negotiate and they have said to be ready for a long war. Israel are only asking for a ceasefire so they can restock their weapons. Iran will not say yes to that. Yeah, and that was it, Iranians are not empty drums, they have displayed to the world how much power they have. Donald Trump has just shown himself to incompetent and how the US government claimed to be the greatest answers to Israel lol.

[Doan9269]

I don't even want to know where the source to this information is coming from, as I know that there is high probability that China will not assist Iran in this situation at their own expenses except that things got beyond the good imagine and Iran come to them for a serious deal and negotiation to fight the battle for them, but still yet, I don't think China has the intention of helping any country in such manner without benefiting from something of evaluable importance from them in exchange to fight.

The US military is not overrated, they are simply the best in the world. I would have to accept that they underestimated the capacity of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Iran devised some war strategies that it affecting not just the US but the entire world. The war is costing the US so much and Donald Trump is losing the support of the people.

Both US & ISRAEL are calling for external aids ceasefire. Trump has issued numerous ultimatum that expired without fulfilment and instead of taking action, he extended the ultimatum further. He probably did not carry out his assignment accurately before initiating this war.

Remember that the US is still sending troops to the Middle East. Donald Trump is unpredictable, he can still order a land invasion. These ultimatums might be to buy time so that US troops can get to strategic positions in the Middle East.

China is an opportunist. They are likely the beneficiary in this war. Iran never care to rely on their defense after all.

China is the second strongest country in the world, yet it positions itself as the global peacemaker. China is simply taking advantage of the situation to improve its partnership with other nations. They are attracting more allies through economic and technological cooperation with other nations. Meanwhile, the US has become a global bully.

The war is costing the US so much and Donald Trump is losing the support of the people.

His approval rating were at a record low before this war and are still declining. It would be no surprise if the Democratic Party regained control of the House of Representatives in the upcoming midterm elections.

Remember that the US is still sending troops to the Middle East. Donald Trump is unpredictable, he can still order a land invasion. These ultimatums might be to buy time so that US troops can get to strategic positions in the Middle East.

Landing troops in Iran would be considered an all out war, and according to the constitution, only Congress has the authority to approve that

China is the second strongest country in the world, yet it positions itself as the global peacemaker. China is simply taking advantage of the situation to improve its partnership with other nations. They are attracting more allies through economic and technological cooperation with other nations. Meanwhile, the US has become a global bully.

Both aspire to world domination, but China clearly has a softer and more agreeable strategy. Meanwhile, the US like a wild beast, believe that only violence will allow them to dominate the world.

The justice department has done everything they could to silent noise surrounding the Epstein file. If it was someone else that if affected by the Epstein file and not Donald Trump, it will be a different case. By now the justice department would have dug deep into the Epstein file to bring out the necessary evidence. Yeah, no one is talking about the Epstein file. Do you know what I love about the future, someday the news about the Epstein file will surface and this time, those who deserve justice will get what is needed.

[Marykeller]

The US, which is totally engaged in this war with Iran has some goals in mind that they are pursuing to achieve, they won't stop hitting Iran until their goals are met. Any country coming in between the war to support Iran, the US will see such a country as its enemy. That's what China is avoiding not coming openly to support Iran when there are no agreed benefits between them and Iran.

Let's continue to see how the war will continue to unfold with the Strait of Hormuz being closed to Iran, and Trump giving Iran the deadline to open the Strait of Hormuz by April 6. No targets on Iran till then
