Well, he didinot say that in fact, here is the oringinal words:
Reuters: At least 16 ships and tankers have been attacked by Iran since the start of the war. Have any civilian and commercial vessels flying the Chinese flag been attacked by drones or shells in the Strait of Hormuz and nearby waters? How many Chinese flagged ships are there currently in the waters?
Guo Jiakun: The Strait of Hormuz and its nearby waters are important international trade routes for goods and energy, and it is in the common interest of the international community to maintain security and stability in the region. China urges all parties to immediately stop military operations to avoid further escalation of tensions and prevent regional instability from having a greater impact on global economic development.
Bloomberg: An Iranian military adviser said that some countries are sharing intelligence on US military operations, but did not name which countries. Is China providing U.S. military intelligence to Iran? Can the speaker provide more information?
Guo Jiakun: I don't understand the relevant situation you mentioned. China's position is consistent and clear, and we urge all parties to immediately stop military operations to avoid further escalation of tensions.
no will not, oil is global concern. iran, one off largest oil and gas reserve owner. iran fuck off mean, every country in deep sh#t. dont forget, china interest about oil is bigger than anything.. including involve in restructuring iranian oil facility, and china is super fast. so without land operation its nothing.I will take decades if country is ruined and their money income is gone.
as i said before, US and Israel can do anything they want, including bombing iran until doomsday. but iran is very old civilization, they knew how to survive. no iran oil mean every nation in deepsh*t. but when its stop, iran can rebuild it, including using china hand, a very thirsty country in oil. hormuz is very fragile choke point..and iran can make it as weapon. soo without area acquitition, that s mean not only 0 iran oil but majority of meiddle east oil strop flowing, everything US and israel doing is zero.To destroy any Iranian military facilities, infrastructure, military industry, etc., the Americans don't need to literally descend from the sky onto Iranian soil; they can do it all from the air.
In American military strategy, the Air Force plays a primary role, but in the case of Iran, it is currently practically the only role. (If they sometimes sink Iranian warships with ballistic missiles, they do so purely spontaneously, apparently for training and even as a joke (in the last three days, the Americans have sunk 30 Iranian, so to speak, warships!)
The Iranian ayatollahs and the military under their command have made many mistakes...
Look, if you have a huge land army and you've chosen Israel, which is 1,000 km away, as your enemy, then of course you should take control of Iraq and Syria, and preferably also Lebanon, Hezbollah, and if you also want Yemen, that's perfectly fine. Iran has done just that: hundreds of thousands of Iranian proxy forces have been stationed in all of these countries. For 10 years, Iran has been building up its military infrastructure in Syria, right on Israel's borders. Israel has been primarily focused on destroying them all this time.
But, unfortunately for the ayatollahs, the main component of the Israeli armed forces is the Air Force. With its Air Force They destroyed Iranian forces everywhere, just as they are doing today inside Iran.
But Iran has no air force or air defense!
As if it didn't have enough enemies, Iran was also in conflict with America, Israel's strategic ally.That's unreasonable.
In short, Iran had great ambitions but little ammunition.
This often ends badly.
Maybe a bit longer, but not more that 1 month, I guess.From the looks of it this war will be over within a week.
Reports of missiles flying near Adana
it was intercepted on air
The americans rarely share their tech. Most of the time its just transfer of production like we saw with our f16 and now Rheinmetall with their future Pac 2/3 production line. I think the only time we got TOT was with the ACV15.it was intercepted on air
maybe aöerican should have agree with selling petriot missles as well as its TOT of it turkey have great manufacting capaciy and would have produce fairly more missiles and cheaper then rest of nato combined but americans being americans now they are in this deep shit
Im not really sure if comparing the iranian navy to the russian navy is fair not that it would fare differently for them. Iran didn't have a real navy to beginn with our 15 year old Ada's are more capable than any of their ships and that lack of quality is present in all of the branches. The only thing they had were their sam systems and their ballistic missiles and their cruise missiles and loitering munition.During the Russo-Japanese War of 1904, the Russians decided to transfer their "legendary and formidable" Baltic Fleet to the Pacific Front. During the voyage, in the Tsushima Strait (Japan), the Imperial Japanese Navy completely destroyed the Russian fleet. In Russian historiography, this naval "battle" is called the Tsushima Disaster.
After the Americans sank the Iranian fleet, the Russians began to worry about the fate of their "legendary and mighty" Baltic Fleet.
Aftor suggests hiding the Baltic Fleet, just as they hide the "legendary and invincible" Black Sea Fleet🫢

"Tsushima in Hormuz": What can we learn from the defeat of the Iranian fleet?
The unilateral destruction of the Iranian fleet, which ceased to exist in just a few days, gives rise to rather grim thoughts. Could the Tsushima-off-Hormuz incident repeat itself in the event of a conflict with NATO in the Baltic Sea, and can it be avoided?
Tsushima-off-Hormuz
According to various estimates, the US Air Force and Navy were able to destroy between 30 and 58 surface ships of the Islamic Republic of Iran without significant losses.
The attack, carried out without a declaration of war, effectively prevented such catastrophic losses, as the Iranian regular navy was unable to accomplish any of its combat missions.
They immediately lost their corvettes and unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as several missile boats based at their bases. However, according to CENTCOM intelligence from March 11, 2026, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps managed to salvage approximately 90% of its "mosquito fleet," which was dispersed across various anchorages!
By the end of the second week of "Epic Fury," Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had maintained its combat capability, even with only small speedboats, and had accomplished its mission of blockading the Strait of Hormuz. Yes, they are suffering losses, but the Americans failed to destroy all the "mosquitoes" at once. This raises some questions about our own expectations in the event of a direct naval conflict with NATO.
Frankly, if a "Second Livonian War" breaks out, the Baltic Fleet has no chance. The US Air Force and Navy have clearly demonstrated how this can happen, using the regular Iranian Navy as an example. We should have no illusions about this!
Therefore, I would like to once again demand the immediate withdrawal of the most valuable surface ships from the Baltic Sea: patrol ships and corvettes to the Northern and Pacific Fleets, small missile ships to Lake Ladoga, and small landing craft to the Black Sea. There they might have been truly useful, but in the Baltic Sea they would have been senselessly destroyed at the most unexpected moment, right in port, by a massive missile strike.
