    >> #China is responding to #IranWar on 2 parallel tracks using the precise language that #US is “addicted to war.”

    As part of its 25-yr “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership” with #Iran, China successfully derailed the #Arab - #Israeli peace process by brokering a secret #rapprochement between Iran and its mortal enemy #SaudiArabia just 7 months before #Oct7 attacks on #Israel.

    #Russia, which is China's #juniorPartner, is helping on a "parallel track"

  2. ⬆️ #Oct7 was the bloodiest, most exquisitely planned, & successfully executed #electionInterference in US history… #China-brokered #rapprochement between #Iran & #SaudiArabia derailing #ArabIsraeliNormalization just 7 months prior was starting point. #Trump reelection was the result.

    On his last full day as President of #US, #Biden said: "After so much pain, destruction, and loss of life, TODAY the guns in #Gaza have gone silent."

    #Oct7 was the bloodiest, most exquisitely planned, and successfully executed #electionInterference in #USHistory.

    ~50,000 died.

    The secret Chinese-brokered #rapprochement between #Iran and #SaudiArabia in March 2023 was the starting point.

    Oct 7, 2023 was the violent spark.

    #Trump's reelection was the end result.

  7. ⬆️ >> #Hamas decapitated

    Both #Russia & #China immediately condemned #Israel's assassination of #Haniyeh [Did they condemn #Hamas #Oct7 attacks?]

    A senior Russian diplomat decried it as “an absolutely unacceptable political assassination [that] will lead to further escalation…”

    China, who invited #Hamas & #Fatah to broker a deal last week after brokering a #rapprochement between #Iran and #SaudiArabia to derail #Arab-#Israeli peace just 7 months before #Oct7, also echoed Russia re #escalation.

  8. ⬆️ Connecting the dots regarding #China, #Russia, #Ukraine, #Iran, #SaudiArabia, #Israel. #BFD

    Recall that #Hamas-Israel war was preceded by China brokering a #rapprochement between Iran and Saudi Arabia derailing #ArabIsraeliNormalization just 7 months before #Oct7

    Recall also that #Austin & #Blinken both testified that #Gaza and Ukraine wars were #interconnected

    Now the locus of control in both conflicts seems to be signaling a winding down in both

  9. ⬆️ New #Iranian president promises outreach to West.

    #Saudi Crown Prince #MohammedBinSalman #MBS who had a #rapprochement with #Iran, sent his congratulations to #Pezeshkian.

    #Russian President Vladimir #Putin, who has relied on Iranian-made drones in his war on #Ukraine, similarly congratulated Pezeshkian.

    #US State Department called the Iranian election “not free or fair” and noted that “a significant number of Iranians chose not to participate at all.”

    >> Part of why #China is funding #ElectionInterference for #GOP: (1) #taxCuts (2) #fiscalShortfall funded by sale of #debt to China, #SaudiArabia & #Russia

    I've noted China brokering #rapprochement between #Iran & #SaudiArabia to derail peace between #ArabLeague & #Israel, and resulting #AxisOfResistance attacks as a precursor to US Election Interference.

    Also noted China's #debtDiplomacy ensnaring poorer nations, but this angle of ensnaring #US in debt is new! Thanks!

    >>>>>> Just 6 mo after #China-brokered #rapprochement between #Iran & #ArabLeague, #Hamas attacked #Israel. #Hezbollah leader #NasarallahWasCoy. #Iran is conspicuously absent from #ArabLeague.

    @radiofreearabia: >>>> They also conspicuously don't speak Arabic. Stop it! You are embarrassing yourself!

    >> #Iran not speaking #Arabic has not kept it from getting DEEP into #Arab-#Israeli conflict.

  12. ⬆️ @radiofreearabia

    >>>> #ArabLeague nations in #NorthAfrica & the #ArabianPeninsula were on a path to normalizing relations with #Israel

    >> No closer than we were in 2002

    That's your opinion and beside the point I am making.

    Regardless of whether #Arabs and #Israelis were closer to making peace in '23, the secret #Chinese-brokered #rapprochement between #Iran & #SaudiArabia derailed those talks, set up the chess board for #AxisOfResistance action timed for interference with #US #Election2024

  13. ⬆️ @radiofreearabia

    >> It is ignorant and bigoted to take away agency from #Arabs

    Where did I do that?

    >> When an indigenous people are faced with a foreign threat, they resist. #China has nothing to do with it.

    Did you read about the #China-brokered secret #rapprochement that killed the #Arab-#Israeli #normalization just 7 months before #Hamas attacks? I even provided a link for your convenience.

    #NasarallahWasCoy shows #Oct7 was NOT as "surprise" to ALL.

    And you are calling ME ignorant?

  14. #US SecDef #Austin tried to refocus attention on #China threat in #AsiaPacific, seeking to alleviate concerns that conflicts in #Ukraine & #Gaza have distracted from #America's security commitments in the region

    Since #Hamas #Oct7 attacks just 7 mo after China-brokered #rapprochement between mortal enemies #Iran & #SaudiArabia that derailed #ArabIsraeli peace process at the time, it’s been increasingly clear that #MiddelEast conflict was triggered by Chinese meddling

    >> #Iran has been fighting #proxy wars against #SaudiArabia (#KSA) since 1970s. In March 2023, #China SECRETLY brokered their #rapprochement ➡️ mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/1

    Rapprochement or not, #mistrust still lingers between #ArabLeague and #Iran.

    Saudi Arabia expelled 6 members of a crew from its state TV broadcaster after they had been detained ahead of the #hajj.

    There have been tensions for decades between #Sunni & #Shia, particularly around the hajj pilgrimage.

  16. ⬆️ @sjbone

    7 MONTHS before #Oct 7, #Iran's #Ayatollahs had struck a long term defense pact with #China & were readily providing #Russia with attack drones. This development essentially meant that Iran was protected by both China and Russia.

    Iran had also made an agreement with #SaudiArabia, mediated secretly by #China, breaking hopes of #Israel’s PM #Netanyahu to bring #Saudis into the #AbrahamAccords agreement with Israel.

  17. ⬆️ #Geopolitical dynamics of #HornOfAfrica tied to the #MiddleEast and broader #IndianOcean in a manner unprecedented in the last century.

    #US strategy has struggled with these interconnected, complex, & transregional dynamics.

    One of the 4 pillars in this report on #RedSea Security is "to broker a détente in the Horn of Africa between the rival Middle Eastern blocs".

    #China did that with #Saudi-#Iran #rapprochement as the #Horn and Indian Ocean are prominent in #BRI

    #RedSea Rising in #HornOfAfrica

    #Turkey & #Qatar are jostling with #UAE & #SaudiArabia for control over #Nile, the OTHER River From the Sea.

    #Iran's hostility towards #Saudis, it's funding of #AxisOfResistance, which include #Hamas and anti-#Saudi #Houthi, Turkey's refusal to designate Hamas a terrorist organization, and Houthi malfeasance in the RedSea have a unifying thread.

    Before the #China-brokered #rapprochement between #Iran & #SaudiArabia early last year, #Houthi rebels used to fight #Arab people in Saudi Arabia & #UnitedArabEmirates.

    Now they fight FOR #Palestinian #Arabs #inTheirName — They do the bidding of their master, Iran.

    These Houthi-simps do not understand that the stakes are much bigger now. It's not just about #Israel and #Palestine any more

    The #occupier is #Iran.

    Last year, #China angered Iran over this dispute, siding with #Arabs, but this year seems to be buddies with both sides, brokering a #rapprochement between them.

    >> Saudi Arabia is now part of the US-led naval coalition AGAINST the #Houthis.

    Oh wow!

    Just yesterday, #SaudiArabia was reluctant to join #US #RedSea #navalCoalition, ostensibly for fear of derailing #China-brokered #rapprochement with #Iran ➡️ mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/1

    #permanentStateOfWar

  26. #SaudiArabia is reluctant to derail #China-brokered #rapprochement with #Iran over #US #RedSea taskforce.

    Between the push from US and the pull from China, #Saudis embrace Iran while twisting in the wind.

    #KSA is conspicuously absent from list of countries US announced as part of its new #navalCoalition protecting Red Sea shipping from #Yemen's #Houthi group who are part of Iran's #AxisOfResistance terrorizing the #MiddleEast and keeping it in a #permanentStateOfWar.

    reuters.com/world/middle-east/

  27. In a spillover from #Hamas-#Israel war, #Yemen's #Houthis attacked ships in #RedSea & fired missiles at #Israel

    As part of #Iran's #AxisOfResistance, Houthis vowed to fight for #Palestinians #inTheirName, & had discussed their attacks with Iran in Nov.

    Iran does not seek "all-out war" but wants a #permanentStateOfWar in the region.

    #SaudiArabia, which was at war with Houthis until #China-brokered #rapprochement with Iran earlier this year, urged #US to show restraint.

    #Kitchener's mistake in choosing #Hussein & #Arabia as representative of ALL #muslims based on his misunderstanding of religious differences was responsible for 4 decades of #proxyWars between #ArabLeague states & #Iran's theocracy-backed #AxisOfResistance, until the secret #rapprochement brokered between them by #China in March 2023

    #British mistake in offering independence based on vague borders & #Hussein's subsequent confusion were addressed in #McMahonHusseinCorrespondence, but in vain.

  29. A real "global #powerBroker" is #China.

    It has #unidirectionalSway over the #InsufferableTrio, #RINK (#Russia, #Iran, and #NorthKorea) — all #outcasts from civilized society in the post-#ColdWar multilateral order.

    Iran, in particular, has been using its #AxisOfResistance to fight proxy battles, not just agains the #US and #West, but also against its #Arab #Brothers in the #ArabLeague.
