US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

[royalharris]

The country has been bombed into a pile of rubble, wave after wave of senior government and military officials have been killed off like crops being cut down, and yet they still think they’re winning every day? The way Iranians think is truly bizarre!

China’s Top 10 Crude Oil Import Sources in 2025
Share of total crude oil imports by value:
Russia — 16.6%
Saudi Arabia — 14.7%
Iraq — 11.3%
Malaysia — 10.5%
Brazil — 8.1%
United Arab Emirates — 7.0%
Oman — 6.6%
Angola — 5.3%
Kuwait — 3.4%
Canada — 2.5%
Iran only blocked the Strait of Hormuz. The existing exports of the UAE and Saudi Arabia have reached their peak, the UAE has additional routes, and Chinese vessels can pass freely through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
For China's crude oil imports, only supplies from Iraq, Iran, and Kuwait would be directly affected, accounting for roughly 25% of total imports. Meanwhile, China's crude oil import demand fell by about 50% in June 2026, meaning that even if all three countries completely stopped supplying oil, China would still have a surplus in its import capacity.

It’s the same group that thought Hamas was winning for simply surviving. In the end, Hamas surrendered. Historically, it takes many years for regimes like Irans to fall. Just look at Saddam, Gaddafi, Assad etc. This war has set in motion the downfall of the regime. Irans military and economy are decimated. Iran has zero deterrence as it’s getting bombed at will. Their entire conventional navy was sunk. It’s under naval blockade. The status quo is unsustainable for Iran. It’s death by a thousand cuts.

Iran is now racking its brains trying to drag China into a confrontation with the United States.

The likelihood of a direct conflict between China and the United States is extremely low. Such a conflict would be catastrophic for the entire world, and neither side would take that step unless absolutely forced to do so.

The idea that China would intervene in a conflict for Iran—a country of limited strategic value to China—is utterly absurd and laughable.

Even if Iran wants allies to help, it should look to India.
The two countries have signed a strategic cooperation agreement, jointly developed ports, and worked together to build an Iran-India-Afghanistan trade zone.
Before the U.S.-Iran war, Iran was even conducting naval exercises with India.

Need to tell the federal government Hamas is using my street (street needs to be repaired and repaved).
