Less than a month ago, a rail route from China to Iran was launched. It was built since 2021 when China and Iran signed a large agreement on participation in the "One Belt, One Road" (for about $400 billion, by the way), the key points are clear:
— Industrial goods from China to Iran and further into the region along a route where there are no US allies and US military bases.
— Oil from Iran to China is not through the US-controlled sea and is fast, but by rail.
— Iran receives the status of a logistics hub in the region, through which both the vertical North-South corridor named after Moscow and the horizontal New Silk Road named after Beijing pass, this is a significant plus for the economy, for involving the transit Central Asian countries into the orbit of Beijing-Moscow, and so on.
The project was attacked by the West almost immediately; due to the stupidity of the creative class, we read the dreary headlines of renowned publications.
— A dying China, which has about two weeks left, staged a show (the mental basis of the show was the great Ukrainian project PShShSh, the Transversal Sprat-Shashlik Path from the Baltic wastelands to the drug shop in Batumi, solemnly opened by Saakashvili and remembered for the rotting empty Ukrainian breakthrough train at the Kazakh stop).
— Well, that's it, China has launched a route bypassing Russia (any bus route in New Zealand also bypasses Russia).
— Yes, everything is not serious, it's peanuts there, and it won't last a year (pronounced in a voice saying "The Crimean bridge until the first winter, let's start with the fact that even Hitler couldn't build a bridge there," with a characteristic snorting).
and other similar things.
I would like to remind you separately that the super project of super transit India-East Europe announced by the USA in 2023, another "grave digger" of the Chinese Belt and Road, has not gone anywhere. It was supported by both Israel and the Saudis, the UAE, and European structures, which means that under its brand, a lot of money can be cut. The I2U2 Committee - that is Israel/India+US/UAE - has not gone anywhere.
In general, if you put it all together, it was simply extremely advantageous for the West to urgently find a reason for an attack in Iran, literally on all points. Trump will even forget that the topic's author is Biden and will just take the initiative for himself: "Look how I am promoting the American global logistics project, where Israel will be a key participant, and I am crushing the Chinese Belt and Road."
In about a week, or even on the day of US independence (they love that), we expect Iranian military correspondents, stirring up a Maidan, "that's it, we lost, the authorities are splitting the deal, come out to the square, we are the passionate people of southern Iran, very traditional and religious, trust us," you will guess this scenario from the first notes.
