Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

[Michael]

So, point 3 means that in april, just in april China imported 12 millions oíl barrels and point 2 says that Islamic Republic has a regular trade with China. That means that Iranian oil is flowing without restrictions to China . Got It. Thanks for your insight.

This represents the average daily import volume for the month, not the total volume for the entire month.

To me, this war confirms Iran is the uncontested leader of the muslim world.

No question about that. Turkey and saudi Arabia betrayed their potential and position to lead the Muslim world, which left only qualified to take the leadership mantle.

Lol, Extremely simplistic & innocent thought which is extremely far from reality.

Nobody is leader in muslim world. A leader is one who everyone follows and everyone accept it as a leader.

Like every country, Iran look after only its own interests. It funds Houthis and Hezbullah only for its own geopolitical gains. Iran helped ruined & completely destroy Syria by giving a new lifeline to a dictator Bashar al Asad who was very close to be thrown out in arab spring. Syria would have survived that long suffering. Syrians will never forget what Iran did with them for its own geopolitical gains. Iran would use any muslim country as a tissue paper for its purpose. Its nothing against Iran but that's how the world is. KSA & Turkey have their own geopolitical objectives. Iran simply can never imagine to be their "leader' as these countries have opposite objectives, a sea of differences, none of these or any other country would ever follow such a controversial "leader".

Iran fought a great war, but don't mistake it as anything done for "muslim world" or even Gaza. Iran didn't fired a single missile when day in and day out IDF was dropping 2000 lbs bombs over residential complexes, hospitals, refugee camps and turning entire gaza into rubble. When Israel had completely turned Gaza into piece of rubble it turned its attention towards Iran and planned to eliminate a future threat (Iran's nuclear program). Only when Iran itself was attacked only then Iran retaliated. Iran won't care if any other muslim country is attacked. If Turkey, Azerbaijan, KSA, Pakistan, Egpyt, Libya, Sudan, Indonesia, any muslim country is attacked Iran would literally say who gives a f-k. So please remember they only fought for their own country. They didn't fought for "muslims" or Gazans or anyone else.

Read " Timber Sycamore " project, so get Idea who destroyed Syria and Syria was part of 7 countries need to be fully destroyed. It easy directly blame Assad. But reality is totally opposite.

️Trump says China has agreed "not to send weapons to Iran."

He literally makes up stuff. China went through...gave the middle finger to the blockade. This was their face-saving lie! We all know China does not change its Foreign policy willy nilly

Trumps unintended consequences. Russia and China getting closer - mutually beneficial. Well done Trump.....

Russia Offers Help To China Amid U.S. Blockade Of Iranian Oil

The Chinese president touted his close ties with Russia, saying it was a “stabilizing” force, a day after Beijing criticized the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports along the Strait of Hormuz.

www.forbes.com

Лавров заявил, что РФ готова восполнить недостаток энергоресурсов странам-партнерам

Москва может восполнить недостаток энергоресурсов у стран-партнеров, готовых работать с Россией на взаимовыгодной и равноправной основе, заявил в среду глава

www.interfax.ru

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Wednesday and offered to cover any potential shortfall in energy supplies caused by the Iran War as the U.S. military said its blockage of all Iranian ports along the Strait of Hormuz has been “fully implemented,” and all shipments out of the country hav been “completely halted.”

Speaking to Russian state media, Lavrov said Russia is capable of filling any energy resource gap that China may face as a result of the Iran war and the U.S. blockade.

The Russian foreign minister added, “Thank God, we and China have all the capabilities” to avoid being beholden to the “aggressive adventure” in the Middle East, which “undermines” the global economy and energy flow.

You misunderstood the Russian demand. Lavrov is putting pressure on China, and the Russian government is demanding that the Chinese government lift restrictions on oil imports. Of course, he used very subtle and friendly language techniques when applying pressure.

The National Development and Reform Commission of the Chinese government has a potential rule regarding oil imports, which states that China cannot import more than 20% of its total oil imports from any single country.

By 2025, China's imports of oil from Russia have reached 20% of the total, so China will not increase the amount of oil imported from Russia. Recently, Iran has blocked the strait. So the Russian government wants to take advantage of this opportunity to force the Chinese government to lift import controls, increase Russia's oil exports to China, and increase China's dependence on Russia.




The quantity of oil imported by China from various countries and the percentage of the total:

 

[Watandar]

According to a source quoted by Al-Jazzera 160m tons of Iranian oil 🛢 is already out of the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf and into the Indian Ocean.

Yes I had posted some links on how Iran had prepared for this blockade by storing months worth of unsold oil at sea. Here is an article that goes into more detail.

Trump’s blockade is turning round boats in Hormuz – but Iran has trick up its sleeve

Analysts say that Iran has already moved vast quantities of its oil offshore and a full blockade would be complex to implement

www.the-independent.com

Here is another article that takes a different angle, which is that Iran may indeed have lots of oil stored at sea right now, but in a few weeks time may have to shut off production like the GCC has, because all the produced oil needs to be stored somewhere.

Iran faces halt to oil production within weeks if US blockade succeeds

Tehran has a maximum of 16 days of storage before it will need to curtail its output

www.ft.com

Both articles indicate it will be quite some time, from a few weeks to even 90 days, before the Iranian govt feels any squeeze in revenues.

One must accept reality and truth even its not what you wanted to hear or even if its against your emotions. "Disliking" or liking shouldn't be done based on personal biases but should be bases on reality.

Read my post again which was in response to a post that declared "Iran" as leader of muslim world lol. I challenge you to pick any point and prove it wrong. Okay leave Syria as we can have differences in our point of views. But there's a lot more in my rest of the post and that is 100% agreeable for anybody who knows basics of geopolitics. Do you guys really think Iran fought this war not for itself but for "muslim world". You guys believe in such simplistic theory? You guys believe if any muslim country is attacked then Iran would come to help ?? Why Iran didn't fired missiles at Israel when Israel was comitting genocide at Gaza ?? How a country can be a leader when no other muslim country accepts it as so or wants to follow it ? Let's be realistic with ourselves. I can write tons of arguements that this war is Iran's own national war. It was not for Gaza and it certainly was not for muslim world. Be realistic please.

For sure, the Pakistani state is involved in intensely diplomacy to build the ground work for Islamabad Talks 2. Vali Nasr said yesterday something like 'Pakistan is not only the best game but the only game' in this conflict.

When Iran claimed he is leader of Muslim world ?. Majority of Muslim world enemy of Iran provide bases to US and Israel. Start reading the history when Iran-Iraq war started.

Mapped: U.S. Military Bases in the Middle East Targeted by Iran

The U.S. has over 40,000 of its soldiers stationed across the Middle East. See which of its bases have faced Iranian attack.
