It has become an indisputable fact that the "powder keg" in the Middle East has been ignited again, and the simultaneous opening of six fronts has become an indisputable fact.
The United States, once the superpower that once manipulated the situation in the Middle East, is now obviously a little powerless in the face of possible Iranian intervention, and even has to turn to China far east for help to find a diplomatic solution.
The threat of the United States?
In this geopolitical game, the United States' concerns are mainly focused on Iran.
As an important country in the Middle East, Iran has always been the number one adversary of the United States. It is not only militarily powerful, but also has a far-reaching political, religious and cultural impact on the entire Middle East region.
Since the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Iran's criticism of Israel has not reached the level of Turkey, but its intention to intervene has become very clear. Iran has repeatedly stated that Israel's actions have gone far beyond the tolerance of the international community and that it is necessary for Iran to act.
Faced with such a situation, the United States does not actually have more effective means to deter potential military action by Iran, except for the deployment of aircraft carrier formations in the eastern Mediterranean to demonstrate military power.
This situation has forced the United States to turn to China in the hope that China can use its unique diplomatic influence to dissuade Iran from entering the war.
The Chinese side received a request for help
According to relevant reports on the 16th, Kirby, coordinator of strategic communications at the United States Committee, publicly called on China at a press conference to use its unique channels with Iran to prevent further deterioration of the situation in the Middle East.
Kirby made it clear that the United States is well aware that China and Iran have channels of communication that the United States does not have, and therefore encourages China to use these channels to convey U.S. concerns to Iran, especially regarding the deepening and escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Although the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has not been out for a long time, the situation has become extremely complicated, and many fronts in the Middle East have been launched, including Iraqi resistance, Lebanese Allah, Palestinian Hamas, Syrian resistance and Yemeni Houthi forces, all of which are attacking Israel. At the same time, the United States also carried out air strikes on Syria, which made the situation in the entire Middle East even more serious.
The United States has no sincerity
So, will China respond to the request of the United States?From China's point of view, peace in the Middle East and a resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict are indeed what China wants to see.
But the key is not whether Iran intervenes, but when Israel can respond to the international community's call to stop its aggression. As long as Israel continues its atrocities, Iranian involvement becomes an inevitable issue.
In fact, Iran's involvement may not be a bad thing given Israel's actions, and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is at least morally much more noble than the Israeli army of innocent civilians.
Therefore, if the United States really wants to avoid a further deterioration of the situation in the Middle East, it should first examine its own attitude and set an example to stop Israel's aggression. Only in this way will it be possible for the US Middle East strategy to avoid complete failure.
In general, in this uncertain international environment, every move taken by the United States, China, Iran, and other Middle Eastern countries will have an impact on the global landscape.
Whether Iran will intervene in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, whether the United States' strategic layout in the Middle East can be effective, and how China can exert its influence in this international chess game are all important issues that remain unresolved
