[Preface]
It's really speechless, the United States has put forward surprising sanctions again and again in order to suppress countries that oppose them......
On April 15, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill again, the reason why this bill was introduced was to prevent China from buying oil from Iran, and the most important thing was that this bill was 383 votes in favor and only 11 votes against.
The reason why the United States suppressed Iran and the mainland was actually because Iran launched a very restrained retaliation against Israel on April 13.
As we all know, the United States has always supported Israel's anti-China efforts, and the U.S. Congress has been unable to bear Iran's air strikes, so it will push this plan to impose sanctions on Iran.
How did the Iranian embassy get attacked, and what is the significance of Iranian oil to the mainland?
[After the attack on the Iranian embassy, Tehran retaliated militarily against Israel]
The Iranian embassy was raided on April 1, in the Syrian capital, Damascus, with a large number of people on the scene, and on the same day several countries, including Russia and Saudi Arabia.
Israel did not publicly respond to this incident, but the United States first said that it did not know about it, and we will explain the specific situation at that time as follows.
During the evening rush hour on April 1, a huge explosion was heard in the Syrian capital, and according to the information given by the Syrian military, the explosion may have occurred at around 17 o'clock.
At that time, Israel launched a missile attack on the consular section building of the Iranian embassy from the direction of the Golan Heights they occupied, which was also the first Israeli attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria.
According to photos posted online, the building that was attacked was completely blown up, smoke rose from the scene, and not only that, but according to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, seven members of the scene lost their lives.
Thus the feud between Israel and Iran was concluded, and Iran openly expressed its strong desire to retaliate, even though Israel did not admit to attacking.
But Iran is still very adamant that it has suffered from Israel's attack, and has made it clear that it will not sit idly by.
Since this incident, the Israeli side has also felt deep worries, and of course Israel will certainly not be able to avoid drawing the United States into this incident.
The Iranian side not only openly pointed out that Israel was wrong, but also said that this is the result of the unconditional support of the United States for Israel, and of course, Israel has also taken a lot of measures to retaliate against Iran, adjusting the deployment of troops, just to guard against a potential counterattack.
According to Western security sources, Israel is now preparing to attack targets in Iran, mainly in response to Tehran's retaliation against them.
In the face of these possible retaliations, Israeli officials have not only not admitted their mistakes, but have instead released information in an attempt to put pressure on Iran to get them to give up their retaliation.
And there is also some media speculation that Israel is likely to use some nuclear-related weapons to destroy Iran's power system.
If Israel does this, then they will definitely make a mistake on top of a mistake, and Tehran will definitely not let them go, and the United States will resolutely oppose this approach, after all, it is very likely to put the United States in a difficult situation.
[The United States is no longer pretending! "Killing two birds with one stone" against China and Iran at the same time, and China is not allowed to buy Iranian oil]
In the previous content, we briefly introduced the enmity between Israel and Iran, and in the preface, we also mentioned that the United States introduced a bill to impose sanctions on Iran, and the pass rate is also very high.
According to the Observer, the U.S. House of Representatives introduced a bill on April 15 and finally passed it with 383 votes, the main content of which is to sanction China for buying Iranian oil.
Not only that, but the U.S. side also said that the main purpose of this measure is to prevent Iran from launching an attack on Israel, but because Iran has a relatively good relationship with China.
In order to prevent this action more effectively, it is necessary to block Iran's economic resources, which is also to defend them, the United States, their assets and their allies.
The hegemonic thinking of a politician like the United States is really incomprehensible, and such an approach is almost exactly the same as the sanctions imposed on Chinese companies and other institutions.
It's just that every sanction will find a very high-sounding reason, since October last year, Israel began to launch a particularly large attack on the Gaza Strip, and has not received any punishment until today, and the United States has tried its best to excuse them.
However, this kind of behavior of the United States can be seen by discerning people who are only doing it for their own interests, and it is not complete to say that they are trying to protect Israel.
The passage of this bill also exposed that today's US politicians are already stunned, and in order to support Israel's evil deeds, they have even taken China's development prospects as a price.
To be more precise, the United States has now begun to try to deal with China and Iran at the same time, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
As we all know, the mainland is the world's largest energy importer, and most of the oil in the mainland comes from some Middle East regions, including from Iran, we will also import oil from Saudi Arabia and other regions.
If the United States fundamentally blocks the mainland's oil flow from Iran, it will not only block Iran's economic resources, but will also indirectly have a particularly big impact on the mainland's economic development.
Judging from the current oil production capacity, there is no other oil in the world, and the producing countries can fill the gap in Iran in the short term.
Therefore, if this US bill is actually implemented, Iran's economic development will definitely suffer a serious shock, and it will also fall into a particularly chaotic situation.
The intentions of these politicians in the United States are already very obvious, and they themselves have never thought about how their country's energy should develop.
On the contrary, they are full of praise for China's inability to buy Iranian oil, arguing that Iran should be cut off immediately to protect their own interests and those of their allies.
However, it is still unclear whether this plan will actually be implemented, and even if he has 383 votes in favor, it still needs to be reviewed.
[The importance of Iranian oil to our China]
As we mentioned earlier, the continent is the world's largest energy importer, and most of the continent's oil is imported from Iran, so what is Iran like as a country? What is the importance of Iranian oil to our country?
The full name of Iran is the Islamic Republic of Iran, and its location is an Islamic country in West Asia, and the historical Iran, that is, the legendary Persia, is a very powerful country.
Today, Iran has a land area of about 1.645 million square kilometers, ranking 17th in the world, and a population of about 81.65 million.
Iran is located at the junction of Central Asia and the Middle East, and the south of Iran is close to the world's oil producing powerhouse, the "world's oil depot" - the Persian Gulf.
After introducing Iran as a country, let's take a look at the importance of Iranian oil to China, I believe that in the previous introduction, many people have seen that Iran does have rich oil and gas resources.
The most important thing is that they also control the Strait of Hormuz, which is very, very important for China, first of all, the energy supply of the mainland is the need for Iranian oil and gas resources.
The continent is an energy-dependent country and a major global energy importer, and of course has a much greater demand for oil and gas than other countries.
Today, this demand is increasing as various industries develop, and Iran is one of the world's leading oil and gas exporters.
Iranian oil can provide a particularly stable energy supply to the mainland, so that it can meet both their economic development and the needs of the mainland's economic development, which can be said to be a win-win policy.
Secondly, there is the Strait of Hormuz, which we mentioned above, which is an important shipping route connecting the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
The most important thing is that it is one of the most important oil transportation routes in the world, not only for the mainland, but also for more than 60% of the world's oil exports.
Last but not least, the mainland is Iran's largest oil export market, and the mainland and Iran have now signed a 25-year strategic cooperation agreement.
The signing of this cooperation agreement means that Iran will continue to provide oil and gas resources to the mainland, and the mainland will provide Iran with some infrastructure and communication technology in return for friends, in addition to providing some industrial products.
From these introductions, we can clearly understand that Iranian oil is of great significance to the mainland's energy supply and strategic interests.
【Conclusion】
Throughout this article, we talked about a bill proposed in the United States, and the passing rate is so high that it may be a little scary.
But in fact, on the other hand, the influence of the United States has been declining in recent years, and even if they propose this bill, it is still in the review stage, and whether it can be actually implemented after that is a question.
