China and Iran Break Ties! Iran Strikes BRI Projects, China's $4 Billion Investment Blown Up!
China Observer

Mar 30, 2026 #chinaobserver
On March 27, the Middle East conflict took a highly symbolic turn: Iran launched drone and cruise missile attacks on two key ports in Kuwait, one of which is the flagship project of China's Belt and Road Initiative in the region—Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port. This attack has been seen by multiple international media outlets as the first time in the war that Iran directly targeted a strategic asset with ties to Beijing, marking the end of the "get out of jail free card" China has relied on in its dealings with Iran.

This video details a significant shift in the Middle East conflict where Iran attacked strategic assets tied to China on March 27, marking a potential breakdown in their relationship. Previously, China's extensive economic support allowed it to avoid such conflicts, but this attack on the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port in Kuwait shattered that immunity (0:01-1:20).Here are the key highlights of the video:

Attack on Chinese Assets: On March 27, Iran launched attacks on the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port in Kuwait, a $4.1 billion flagship project of China's Belt and Road Initiative (0:03-2:01).
Strategic Impact of the Port: This port is crucial for China to control waterways between Iran, Iraq, and Kuwait, aid in energy security by reducing reliance on the Strait of Malacca, and expand geopolitical influence (2:16-2:51).
Interception of Chinese Ships: On the same day, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) intercepted two Chinese container ships in the Strait of Hormuz (4:33-5:03).
Silent Response from Beijing: Despite the major financial losses and humiliation, China remained largely silent, demonstrating limited military capabilities and political will to protect its interests abroad (5:59-6:35).
Contrast with Pakistan's Diplomacy: While China struggled, Pakistan successfully negotiated with Iran to secure safe passage for its ships, highlighting Pakistan's more effective diplomatic role in the region (7:05-8:47).
Collapse of Credibility and BRI Risks: This event damages China's international standing, proving its economic ties do not guarantee security, and poses severe risks to the long-term viability of the Belt and Road Initiative (9:06-12:27).

A Prophecy predicted a war between these 3 religions sometime in the 21st century :eek: Oh well....
:idk:

"The breaking of Elam’s bow is a prophecy from Jeremiah 49:35-39 (NKJV), stating that God will destroy the military strength ("bow") of the ancient nation of Elam, which was located in modern-day Iran. This act symbolizes the smashing of their primary power, scattering the people, and ending their dominion, interpreted by some as a prophecy for modern times."

As to only three religions... if you don't think, even for a second, that Science is a religion... well... Start with the creation (aka Big Bang), and get back to me...
