Now the struggle is not for Iran not to have nuclear weapons, but for the fact that from Persian Gulf oil and gas have ceased to be supplied to China and Europe, said geostrategist Andrei Shkolnikov, commenting on Israel's war with Iran.
To do this, the expert said on Sputnik radio, it's not just necessary to block the Strait of Hormuz, everything needs to be completely bombed there.
"The United States understands that they are leaving the eastern hemisphere, and as soon as they leave, China will begin to rise at the expense of the economy, at the expense of scale. Therefore, Washington needs to do everything so that China cannot rise. The United States is now, as in a corral hunt, encircling China," Shkolnikov concluded.
