Trump specifically named China and Russia! This could be a warning before a major conflict! On July 25, according to a report from Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore, U.S. President Trump stated that he believes China and Russia will not assist Iran in the conflict between the United States and Iran. However, he simultaneously warned that if China and Russia were to actually intervene, it would be extremely detrimental for them. When I was in Beijing, the Chinese side told me that he would never provide or sell weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran under any circumstances — this also includes Chinese enterprises.
I trust the leaders of China and Russia. I don't know whether they secretly support (Iran), but I believe in them. Clearly, the current situation in the Middle East is such that the United States is continuously increasing its military presence in the region, deploying as many as hundreds of refueling aircraft to Israel, and U.S. electronic warfare planes have already been deployed. Trump has just pledged a civilian nuclear energy cooperation project worth hundreds of billions of dollars with Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia has already entered the fray by striking Houthi forces. Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal has exposed that Kuwait and Bahrain have also joined in attacks on targets inside Iran.
All these signs indicate that storm clouds are gathering over the Middle East. At this moment, Trump specifically naming China and Russia is certainly no coincidence. The United States clearly understands that apart from Russia, the global major powers with the closest ties to Iran are us. Trump directly naming China and Russia and stating they won’t help Iran is in fact a warning to both countries — a preemptive move to ensure China and Russia remain passive and refrain from taking any actions that the U.S. does not wish to see.
The so-called trust in China and Russia is precisely aimed at completely isolating Iran and cutting off all possibilities of external support for Iran. With this move, we have every reason to suspect that the U.S. is clearing external obstacles in preparation for an even larger-scale military operation. It's obvious that such rhetoric serves as a clear, pre-emptive warning. Of course, we will not sell weapons to Iran, but Russia, which maintains close military ties with Iran, may well not stay idle.
