Niu Tanqin: The United States asks China to "help clean up the mess" and Iran can't laugh or cry.
The whole world was dumbfounded, and it seemed that Iran was also dumbfounded: It had already been hit so hard, but the United States actually begged China to help clean up the mess.
I saw that the Iranian Foreign Minister tweeted on March 14 and lamented: "It turns out that the security guarantees touted by the United States are full of loopholes. Instead of acting as a deterrent, they have caused trouble. The United States is now asking other countries, even China, to help ensure the security of Hormuz…"

You beg other countries, and you actually beg China. Does this have anything to do with China? I really don’t know what you think about America?
You read that right, that’s what the Iranian Foreign Minister said.
Moreover, I read it again carefully and found that what he sent was in English, and it did use the word BEG (meaning "begging" or "begging" in English). When I said "beg", it still felt light.
Well, reading history books, wars often begin with arrogant self-confidence, but end with helpless help.
So what did Trump say?
That tweet contains a lot of information.
Around 10 a.m. Eastern Time on the 14th, which is around 10 p.m. Beijing time on the 14th, Trump sent a long tweet, saying:
Many countries, especially those affected by Iran's attempts to close the Strait of Hormuz, will join the United States in sending warships to ensure the smooth flow and safety of the strait.
We have destroyed 100% of Iran's military capabilities, but no matter how badly they were defeated, they could still easily have sent a drone or two, dropped a mine, or launched a short-range missile somewhere in this waterway.
Hopefully, China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK and other countries affected by this artificial restriction will send ships to the area so that the Strait of Hormuz is no longer threatened by a country that has been completely decapitated…
It’s really full of flaws!
1. In the first sentence, Trump claimed that he had destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capabilities; in the second sentence, he admitted that Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz.
Spear is not contradictory?
2. He claimed that many countries would, like the United States, send warships to escort in the Strait of Hormuz, but he did not say which countries they were.
Is it reliable?
Navigation in the Strait of Hormuz has not yet been restored
3. The biggest drawback is that Trump issued a request and listed several countries, starting with China, asking them to send warships to participate in the escort…
Never forget China wherever you go?
Forget about other Western countries, China was the first one to mention it. No wonder the Iranian Foreign Minister laughed at it. The United States started to beg other countries, but it even brought up China…
Because according to him, the Strait of Hormuz is actually open and Iran has not blocked it at all. It is just that it would be dangerous for American and Israeli ships to pass through it. It is open to navigation by China and other countries, so there is no problem.
I saw that CNN even went a step further, quoting Iranian officials as saying that Iran was considering allowing oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz as long as the oil was traded in yuan.
I don’t know if it’s true or not, but this is what the American media reported in black and white.
When the hegemon begins to settle economic accounts and its opponents begin to settle political accounts, the rules of the game have quietly changed.
In fact, the reason why Trump named a series of countries is that, according to general understanding, these countries, whether France, the United Kingdom, Japan, or South Korea, do not want to wade into troubled waters. Therefore, Trump has no choice, so I will just name them.
Do you want the Strait of Hormuz to be safe? Then let's all come together.
But why is the Strait of Hormuz unsafe? He didn't say.
I saw that on overseas social media, someone ridiculed and said: This reminds me of a child who provoked a fight, and after being beaten, ran to find his brothers and sisters for help. This does not mean admitting his incompetence, but makes people doubt what he did.
Some even lamented: Trump and Netanyahu created a dilemma. They were defeated by a country that had suffered from years of sanctions and conducted an asymmetric war almost perfectly.
Oh, someone else counted: 38 minutes ago: Trump claimed that "100% of Iran's military capabilities were destroyed"; 26 minutes ago; Iran launched another large-scale missile attack on Israel, and 5 missiles hit Tel Aviv…
Oil tanker attacked in Hormuz
What’s even more ridiculous is that the United States also deliberately throws dirty water.
At the Security Council a few days ago, the United States used its status as the rotating presidency of the Security Council to accuse China and Russia of using Security Council procedures to "protect Iran."
China's Permanent Ambassador to the United Nations Fu Cong sternly refuted it on the spot.
He said: "I want to emphasize that it was the United States that unilaterally withdrew from the JCPOA, which triggered the Iranian nuclear crisis. It was also the United States that disregarded its own credibility and brazenly used force against Iran twice with Israel during the negotiation process with Iran, causing diplomatic efforts to be in vain. As the initiator of the Iranian nuclear crisis, the United States' actions violated international law and the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter. China strongly condemns it."
The whole world can see who is right and wrong.
Therefore, China's attitude is very clear: We urge the United States to immediately change course, return to diplomatic negotiations, make a clear commitment not to use force, engage in sincere dialogue with Iraq, and reach a solution that meets the expectations of the international community.
But to be honest, the United States must win and demand Iran's "unconditional surrender." Iran is red-eyed and does not believe that the United States and Israel are sincere in talks. No matter how big or good the negotiating table is, it will not work.
As a relatively weak party, Iran naturally paid a heavy price. Trump recently ordered a large-scale attack on Iran's energy base Khark Island, completely destroying the island's military facilities.
Iran has threatened that if Iran's energy and economic infrastructure is attacked, it will target "the oil, economic and energy infrastructure of all oil companies in the region that hold U.S. shares or cooperate with the United States."
Iran also accuses the United States of using military bases in the United Arab Emirates for its attack on Khark Island. Therefore, Iran urges Muslims in the United Arab Emirates to immediately evacuate ports, docks and places used by the United Arab Emirates U.S. military to avoid harm.
Iran, whose military capabilities have been 100% destroyed by the United States, is about to begin military retaliation again.
Oh, Trump also scolded the "Wall Street Journal" for reporting fake news on the 14th, saying that the United States was indeed attacked on a military base in Saudi Arabia, but the losses were exaggerated. Among the five tanker planes, "four were almost undamaged, and the other was slightly more damaged, but will be able to resume flying soon. None of them were destroyed as the fake news headline said."
But after looking at it, the American media did not say "destroy" at all. Why are you so anxious, Trump?
This clarification actually confirmed that five U.S. tanker aircraft were indeed damaged. In addition, one tanker plane crashed and another was damaged. This is the most tragic loss of tanker aircraft in the United States so far.
Trump confirms five U.S. tanker tanker attacks
Finally, what do you think? Let’s just say three simple things.
First, Trump is also a bit disoriented.
Don't tell me about strategies and tactics. What I have seen is that when the United States attacks Iran, it has neither tactics nor strategy.
For example, why attack Iran?
The whole world was surprised.
In the past, I still carried a can of washing powder, but now, the United States does not even carry washing powder, and keeps talking about it: at first it was said to punish Iran for suppressing the opposition, then it became to eliminate Iran's nuclear program, and then it said that the target was Iranian missiles and drones, and at one time it clearly declared that it would overthrow the Iranian regime…
On the first day of the war, the United States and Israel were still full of confidence and killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in one fell swoop. Iran's top leadership was almost wiped out. However, after two weeks of fighting, Iran did not collapse. Instead, it launched violent retaliation against the United States and Israel. Shipping in the Strait of Hormuz was actually suspended, and international oil prices continued to skyrocket.
The United States is really in a bit of trouble.
Therefore, Trump said, one moment, the United States has won, destroying 100% of Iran's military capabilities; the other moment, he said that Iran is still very strong, and the whole world will help me protect it.
It doesn't make any sense!
Second, the biggest focus now is the Strait of Hormuz.
I feel that the goal of the United States, at least now, is relatively clear. It no longer talks about overthrowing the Iranian regime, which is forcing Iran to risk its life; it also talks less about missiles and drones. In fact, it cannot be finished at all.
The goal of the United States has become: to open the Strait of Hormuz.
The blockade of Hormuz continues, international oil prices skyrocket, and the whole world is suffering. In the United States, oil prices have special political significance, unless Trump really does not want the midterm elections.
Therefore, Trump is very anxious and even directly begged China, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, etc. to clean up the mess.
When the war started, didn't you know the outcome?
I really don’t know what Americans think?
The inside story disclosed by the US media is that the US military reportedly warned this at the time, but Trump refused to listen and said: Iran would rather surrender than block the Strait of Hormuz…
Third, you really should stop fighting as soon as possible.
Don't fight anymore. The fight will cause bloodshed, oil prices will skyrocket, and the whole world will suffer.
Due to high oil prices, Pakistan has announced a two-week holiday, and children are studying online; India is in serious fertilizer shortage and is asking China to lend a hand; stock markets around the world are in a miserable state.
Of course, China is also an important victim of high oil prices; although from another perspective, it shows China's vision for new energy layout.
There is no doubt that this was the wrong war launched by the wrong people against the wrong country at the wrong time, and it is a war that the United States will regret endlessly in the future.
I saw that heavyweight U.S. Senator Sanders just posted a tweet asking:
Cost so far:
· More than 1,200 Iranian civilians killed
· 13 US soldiers killed in action
· 3.2 million Iranians displaced
· 773 people killed in Lebanon
· More than 10,000 Iranians injured
· $16.5 billion spent in 12 days (U.S.)
To be honest, this is still a very conservative figure. For example, according to reports, more than 2,000 Iranians have lost their lives. What a human tragedy this is! The cost of the United States is more than 16.5 billion. If you count the losses of neighboring countries, it is an astronomical figure!
How will you end it, America? How should Iran tide over the difficulties? Do we really need China to clean up the mess?
