America's former Secretary of State Pompeo said today: "The 'Epic Fury Operation' is not only to deal with the Iranian threat, but also aims to strike at China's core. 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 power. This is significant."
Comment: From Pompeo's blunt and unmasked remarks, one can see part of the truth behind the US's recent war against Iran. Pompeo openly admitted that the US's goal in waging war against Iran is to weaken China and disrupt China's strategic layout in the Middle East, which is the real intention. Iran has long been an important energy partner and 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 equation of "overthrowing the Iranian regime = striking at China's core," which amounts to openly admitting that this confrontation is essentially a geopolitical strangulation launched 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 great power games. This also confirms that behind current international conflicts, almost all are related to the US's strategy of containing China, and the so-called elimination of Iran's nuclear capabilities is merely an excuse for launching the war.
