China News Online just reported: "Source: The U.S. is drafting a 'decisive strike' plan against Iran, in preparation for the collapse of negotiations."
According to sources, the U.S.-drafted "decisive strike" plan includes invading or blockading Iran's major oil export hub, Khark Island; attacking strategic locations on Larak Island used by Iran to control the Strait of Hormuz; seizing Abu Musa Island and two other small islands located at the western entrance of the strait; as well as blocking or detaining vessels transporting Iranian oil on the eastern side of the Strait of Hormuz.
In addition, the U.S. military has also developed ground operation plans deep into Iran’s interior, aiming to retrieve highly enriched uranium buried within nuclear facilities. Another alternative option involves launching large-scale air strikes to prevent Iran from acquiring such nuclear materials in the future.
Commentary: So-called negotiations are merely smoke screens to delay deployment—the 'decisive strike' plan reveals the true intent. This strategy directly targets Iran’s oil lifeline and control over the Strait of Hormuz. Once activated, it would constitute an annihilating military assault, not only dragging the Middle East into full-scale war but also directly cutting off global energy supply routes. The catastrophic consequences—including soaring oil prices and economic turmoil—would be borne by the entire world. The U.S.'s professed peace rhetoric has long been worthless.
