Just saw Old Hu's comment on Iran being attacked due to its strength issue, and I completely disagree with this point. The core problem of Iran is that the ruling group harbors illusions and is too weak. To put it in one sentence, their cowardice is something even an ordinary passerby like me can't bear to see.
When the People's Republic of China was founded, weren't we not weak? The gap in strength between China and the United States was far greater than that between the current United States and Iran, but we dared to confront the U.S., thereby establishing our status as a great power on par with the U.S. and Russia.
During the Iran-Iraq War, Iran fought against Iraq, which was supported by the U.S. and the Soviet Union, for eight years, mobilizing tens of millions of people, and almost every household made sacrifices. In the end, they forced Saddam to the negotiating table. It was this war that established Iran's status as a regional power and led strategic scholars like Brzezinski to elevate its position to the same tier as China, the U.S., and Russia.
Since General Soleimani was killed and Iran didn't make much noise, the U.S. and Israel saw through the weakness of Iran's ruling group. Subsequently, with the killing of Leishy, Hezbollah, Hamas, Syria were strategically abandoned, and Peshehichian distanced himself from Russia, with Israel becoming even more brazen.
Who is to blame for all this? If you don't help yourself, no one else can help you. If Iran is willing to rise up, China and Russia would be willing to assist them. After the attack on Iran, China's representative at the United Nations, Cong Fu, expressed condemnation, showing a very clear stance.
