America's former Secretary of State Pompeo said today: "The 'Epic Fury Operation' is not only to deal with the Iranian threat, but it also aims to strike at China's vital points. Beijing has always regarded Iran as its main pillar for exerting influence in the Middle East. If we successfully overthrow the Iranian regime, we will weaken a key component of China's strength. This is significant."
Comment: From Pompeo's straightforward and unreserved remarks, one can see part of the truth behind the US's recent war against Iran. Pompeo explicitly admitted that the US's war against Iran aims to weaken China and disrupt China's strategic layout in the Middle East, which is the real goal. Iran has long been an important energy partner and a strategic foothold for China in the Middle East, and the US has always viewed it as a thorn in its side. Pompeo directly put forward the idea that "overthrowing the Iranian regime = striking at China's vital points," which amounts to openly admitting that this confrontation is essentially a geopolitical struggle initiated by the US to contain China's rise and maintain its global hegemony. The security of Middle Eastern countries and regional peace and stability are just pawns in the game of great powers. This also confirms that behind current international conflicts, almost all are closely related to the US's strategy of containing China. The so-called elimination of Iran's nuclear capabilities is merely an excuse for starting the war.
