The article titled "From Whether the US Strikes Iran to the Taiwan Strait" published by Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao wrote: "If the US is unwilling to send troops to support its closest allies, then in the face of greater risks and uncertainties if a war were to break out in the Taiwan Strait, it would be even less likely to expect the US military to intervene and assist Taiwan. But what if the US becomes deeply embroiled in the Middle East and cannot extricate itself, having to handle both the Iran issue and the Ukraine-Russia conflict? Wouldn't that give the PLA an opportunity in the Taiwan Strait? The Trump administration faces a dilemma."
The Western hype about the "Iran-Israel-Taiwan Strait" narrative is actually a trap in public opinion, sensationalizing the so-called "Taiwan Strait crisis." A few years ago, Britain's The Economist listed the Taiwan Strait as one of "the most dangerous places in the world." However, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have erupted successively and are still ongoing; not long ago, the India-Pakistan conflict just subsided, and now the Israel-Iran conflict has arisen. During this process, Western media continues to hype up the risks in the Taiwan Strait, with ulterior motives hidden behind their rhetoric.
America's dilemma over the Iran issue serves as a "stress test" for the Taiwan Strait situation - when hegemony struggles to control chaos in the Middle East, the "US intervention" fantasy of the 'Taiwan independence' forces is merely a death warrant.
