Iran Can't Wait Any Longer! U.S. officials claim that Iran has turned to China and Russia for help! On March 18, CIA Director Richard Grenell confirmed at a congressional hearing that Iran is actively seeking intelligence support from U.S. adversaries such as China and Russia. Foreign media reports suggest that this Middle East war may be rapidly expanding into a potential flashpoint for great power rivalry. What do we think about the claims made by U.S. officials?
Frankly speaking, what the U.S. is doing is spreading false information. The U.S. is currently stuck in the Middle East and can't get out quickly. The Trump administration now has two pressing problems to deal with. First, it needs an excuse to take responsibility for the current situation and reduce domestic criticism. Second, it needs money. The Trump administration is now seeking an additional $200 billion in war funding. Using the name of "national security" to suppress opposing voices is how they can justify the huge military spending.
Therefore, spreading the news that Iran is seeking help from China and Russia, and creating an external enemy, is a common tactic used by the White House. Whether Russia has helped Iran, we are not sure. However, the claim that China has provided military support is impossible. Just because the U.S. intelligence community opens its mouth, it assumes it is evidence. This is completely unconvincing and is a deliberate smear. Of course, such actions are obviously an attempt to free themselves, but it might also be the beginning of greater trouble for the U.S.
