How much did those 13,000 strikes cost you and what did those 13000 strikes do for you?The US carried out over 13,000 airstrikes on Iran in less than 2 months.
They bombed the country as if it was some failed state incapable of defending against the US, and you're moaning about what Trump said or didn't say?
Beat the shit of Iran?
US strikes on Iran: 13,000
Iranian strikes on US: 0
I was almost convinced Iran had nukes or maybe even ICBMs. All bluffs.
One thing I have learnt from this conflict is that the North Koreans have proven themselves to be a lot more smarter than the Iranians.
Both countries are under sanctions and both were declared Axis of Evil in January 2002.

If you're going to moan and whine, then don't go around making tall claims.
Same could be said with how trump left the Kurds to be slaughtered in Syria very noble indeed……..and he wonders why they didn’t fall for it with Iran I think they took the weapons and money for them being left high and dry in SyriaAs I said, that is perverse. China is using others as fodder to keep itself insulated. How very noble, not.
what "okay then" ? China didn't start this war, America did and to expect the Chinese to sit on the sidelines and wait for their turn to get hit is nonsensical. There is a difference between those who CHOOSE to adopt an extremely aggressive foreign policy, like America in the Mideast and those who react to it.
As Meengla mentioned, China hasn't even gone all in , it is merely buying Russian and Iranian oil and hence keeping their government's afloat.
Clearly Iran has the means to resist

China is a future target for the US, because America needs an enemy for its obese military budget and China finally realized this after Mr Trump's first term.
On the other hand the US and its proxies have been attacking the Mideast, North Africa and South Asia non-stop with war, insurgency, terrorism, economic and tech blockades and propaganda for 70 years straight. The luxury of "strategic patience" does not exist for countries in this region.
This is an important lesson for the Iranians to learn, if they so decide.
If by 'childishly romanticised notion of resistance' you're referring to Shi'ism (particularly things like the narrative of Karbala and the culture of sacrifice), then I doubt the Iranians will simply abandon this and 'learn from the Chinese' (whatever that means).
What's wrong with peace when you get it on your terms?...... and yet equally clearly it is making peace.

Iran should extort the maximum amount of money they can from the US and its allies
Squeeze them until they're dry
