Convinced that the ‘regime’ would collapse imminently, many expected the US to seize control of Iran’s oil exports as effortlessly as it seemed to do in Venezuela after the kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro in January. Much was made of the fact that 90% of those exports were bound for China. Barely a month in, those expectations lie in ruins alongside the smoking rubble of US bases across West Asia. Iran has asserted sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, demanding payment for safe passage in Chinese renminbi. Its own Asia-bound oil exports have increased while those of its Gulf rivals are cratering. And amid the worst oil shock in history, China’s long-term investments in renewable energy stand vindicated as never before. These developments are accelerating a multipolar transition long in the making. At its heart lies a bilateral relationship between Iran and China that dates back to the Revolution of 1979. Chinese arms helped buttress Iran during the brutal eight-year imposed war against Iraq. Its oil purchases fortified Iran’s resistance economy against Trump’s ‘maximum pressure’ sanctions regime. And by welcoming Iran into BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, China is helping it assume its rightful place at the heart of a rising Eurasia. And where China’s official statements at the UN and other forums still smack of diplomatic restraint, its 1.4 billion people have wholeheartedly joined the global information war on the side of Iran as it fights to liberate humanity from the clutches of the Epstein empire. #USA #Israel #Iran #China #StraitOfHarmuz Wed, 08 Apr 2026 07:29:31 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/4646d7a9-9c8a-4790-96e2-a011efd2634d All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
