He seems to be missing the point that Iran is a close ally of China. And the US absolutely wants to isolate China from its allies.

I agree, the US wants to prevent a Eurasian bloc from forming at all costs. Iran and Afghanistan are a big part of the BRI which connect China with West Asia. And that's why the US has been destabilizing the region obsessively.

Completely blind to how the petrodollar system works too, this is why people are so easily hoodwinked by Bernie Sanders' mumblings about "Netanyahu's War". He says "Iran is not very important", "aspires to be a nuclear threat" (to occupied Palestine, which they intend to reclaim), and "can only dream of being the threat Russia is". Iran is applying Russia's missile + drone warfare strategy to Israel (strategy starts in the factory, as huge gainz start in the kitchen), combined with far more aggressive financial pressure to the global economy that is shaping up to be worse than Russia sanctions + COVID combined, proportional to size it packs an unbelievable punch.

Interesting share though, I missed this despite having Unmitigated Pedantry in my history RSS feed. Watching misconceptions about Iran evolve as the media op's finale approaches is fascinating
