China is a military superpower. Iran has a much weaker military than China has, but America's military could not defeat Iran in the past seven months. This is nothing for us to be proud of.

Donald Trump handed a victory to #Iran today:
"U.S. forces formally withdrew from Iraq on Wednesday":
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/world/middleeast/iraq-us-forces.html
This was a victory for Iran both because Iran wanted American soldiers out of Iraq and because, with American troops out of Iraq while Iran is bordering Iraq, this will increase Iranian influence in Iraq. This is one more sign that Iran won the #IranWar.
