"So in the end, even China betrayed Iran?"
That line comes from inside the regime's own circles — and it accidentally reveals everything.
The plan: close the Strait of Hormuz, spike oil prices, squeeze Washington.
What actually happened:
▪️ China cut roughly 5 million barrels from its oil imports
▪️ Slowed its own refinery throughput
▪️ Drew down its strategic petroleum reserves
▪️ Neutralized a supply shock with a demand-side shock
Result: oil prices didn't fly. Beijing became the single biggest shock absorber in the global oil market — and quietly protected the American economy from Tehran's gamble.
Hormuz was never the winning card. Now the "China card" is burning too.
The lesson: no one co-signs the military adventurism of an isolated regime — not even a so-called strategic ally.
