Former US Secretary of State Pompeo wrote today: "If the current Iranian regime is replaced by a government representing the will of the Iranian people, Beijing may lose the cheap oil that supports its economic development. But more importantly, it would lose a key foothold in the region."

Comment: The US's war against Iran is a nakedly illegal aggression. Pompeo's remarks reveal one of the real purposes of this war - to overthrow the Iranian regime by force, firmly control Middle Eastern energy and strategic locations, and at the same time suppress China, cutting off China's normal energy cooperation and regional layout.
