Kommentar: Trump scheitert im Iran – und stärkt damit vor allem Xi
Vor einem halben Jahr begann der US-Präsident den verhängnisvollen Irankrieg, mit dem er auf lange Sicht vor allem jenes Land stark macht, das er eigentlich eindämmen will: China.
Donald Trump's failed strategy in Iran has strengthened China's influence, according to a recent commentary. The theory suggests that Trump's actions, such as seizing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, were part of a broader plan to limit Chinese influence in the Middle East and curb oil supplies from Iran. However, after six months of conflict, the plan appears to have failed. The ongoing on-off war has placed Iran in a strategically advantageous position, one that even China's mullahs never dared to imagine.
