Meanwhile, Xi Jinping be like:
China should stop building ships for CMA CGM and Maersk, and sanction all Korean shipbuilders which are doing that.
How are these western lemmings going to join the attack against the Chinese reunification force, when the whole process will be achieved in just a few days?
All their delusional assumptions about "hurting" China, through Iran, mean nothing if they actually keep losing in Iran.
And even if they were somehow successful, trying to use oil to pressure a government that has total control over its own economy, reserves, and resources, the most efficient system on earth, with diversified global supply, is just beyond foolish.
Did these people even run the math? China is lapping the world in renewables, while Iran is at 13% and Venezuela at 4% for crude imports.
Relying on oil leverage in that environment is a pipe dream.
This is the same "magic bullet" syndrome as that Malacca blockade nonsense.
They’re chasing wishful thinking instead of looking at actual hard power metrics.
They got lucky, successfully co-opting elements of Maduro's own regime to betray him from within and seize the Venezuelan oil sector temporarily.
But the public isn’t buying it, and now they’re stuck micromanaging a regime that could tell the U.S. to go screw itself the second the domestic heat gets too high.
They are already cognitively impaired as it is, even without more distractions.
And in Iran? Every missile they lose is one they aren't replacing.
Their production is rotting, and they’re burning through resources while a war with China is looming in a matter of years.

Major combat operation vs special military operation? No war I swear!
Plus y'all are seriously exaggeratting the relationship between China and Iran. It's only buisness the occasional weapon sale but that is about it. China views Iran as unreliable as an ally and that makes sense considering how Iran supports India over Pakistan.
State media says Khamenei is dead.
