The #1 problem is that Iran is a giant gas station for China, where most of its oil & natural gas goes. China is right next door to Iran. So why should China sit back and let the USA, an ocean away from Iran steal its precious resources, which of course that is what is REALLY happening here.

So China is already sending military cargo planes into Iran in spite of the closed airspace, with transponders off.

Highly likely that the China gov't will protect its assets there by bringing military hardware, especially air defense weaponry to Iran. And even its own aircraft could shoot down US or Israeli aircraft over Iran, legally if invited by Iran. And if the US fights back, well China could sink all their aircraft carriers where they base their aircraft in about 2 hrs with hypersonic missiles.

What next World Nuclear War?

Be smart, abandon this insanely reckless misadventure.

Does anyone believe if Iran's major export was bananas, there would be all this concern about them possibly, maybe someday deciding to make a nuclear weapon?

What on Earth was a German Air Force tanker doing secretly refueling Israeli jets over Syria? Does that sound like a Netanyahu special or a NATO operation?

Why does everybody forget this? General Wesley Clark:

_"...So I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, "Are we still going to war with Iraq?" And he said, "Oh, it's worse than that." He reached over on his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. And he said, "I just got this down from upstairs" -- meaning the Secretary of Defense's office -- "today." And he said, "This is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran."

Now what is the last word in that quote? Anybody? It took the CIA several tries to demolish Syria but they finally succeeded recently. Got to finish the mission.

This has nothing to do with Nuclear Weapons. This is more efforts at globalization & central Western control of the World's most valuable energy assets.

Besides, we know from the Covid bioengineered bioweapon that nuclear weapons are now the 2nd rate choice. It's all about bioweapons now. One secret lab can engineer a bioweapon that would kill everyone in Israel. And since nobody in authority cared about who engineered Covid, maybe nobody will know or find out who released the bioweapon in Israel.

If their main export was bananas they wouldn't be able to fund a nuclear weapons program...

Also, if you look back at the Iraq debacle - the same "its all about a western oil grab" narrative was there (as well as the dodgy "intelligence" on WMD) - but the big players in Iraq since 2003 have been Russian and Chinese companies. So I don't really buy that angle.
