The war between America and Iran has paused for 2 weeks, but it still feels like this war could continue in the future. Trump talks about ending Iran’s 6,000 to 10,000-year-old civilization, which forces Iran to bow before Trump, and it accepts this at the very moment when Trump talks about destroying the civilization.
Meanwhile, China has emerged as the mastermind of this war. China has been buying oil from Iran since 2004, which has allowed Iran to prepare to make even more weapons, and China’s money has also contributed to stabilizing Iran’s economy.
See, China quietly asked Iran to agree to a ceasefire because they were also facing problems from this war, which led China to negotiate with Iran for a ceasefire.
Iran has a very good relationship with China and Pakistan, which encouraged Iran to support the ceasefire.
Trump, the king of Truth Social, has posted several times that he will push Iran back a lot, which also put pressure on Iran, forcing them to hold back on their own.
The Strait of Hormuz acted almost like a nuclear bomb, which caused crude oil prices to rise to around $120 per barrel, which after the 2-week ceasefire fell to just below $100.
This war is still not completely over because Trump has talked about tariffs on countries that help Iran, so there are still signs that the war could start again.
