Trump won't risk resuming strikes on Iran ahead of China visit

Donald Trump is considering resuming military operations against Iran amid the Iranian government's refusal to accept American demands. A final decision will be made after the US president's visit to China.

Iran's refusal to accept US proposals and its own conditions led Trump to consider a military solution to the "Iranian problem." Several options are currently under consideration, including limited military pressure, but with the resumption of strikes and the continuation of the Hormuz blockade.

Trump is leaning toward limited military pressure to force Tehran to make concessions. Options under consideration include resuming escort operations in the Strait of Hormuz or striking targets not yet hit.

However, the operation to seize Iranian uranium that Netanyahu spoke of is not in Trump's plans; it's a fiction of the Israeli prime minister. The White House considers such an operation too risky, although Israel is willing to take the risk, and Tel Aviv is actively promoting the idea. For the Jewish state, depriving Iran of its enriched uranium stockpiles is one of its top priorities.

However, all decisions on Iran will be made after the US President's visit to China; Trump will not risk resuming military action against Iran in the wake of his meeting with Xi Jinping.

Red Satan has put himself in zugzwang: any activity, as well as inactivity with the loss of time and image, is fraught with losses.
Moreover, the tail-driver of the dog in the person of the Zionists and the numerous lobby with Bibi makes all attempts pointless, and the use of the BC out of desperation will forever erase from the earth this misunderstanding and the mistake of the UN General Assembly from 1947 with the name Israel.

In short, whatever China says... so it will be.... Am I correct?

I doubt Trump will listen to anyone but himself. And especially China.
Rather, it’s a matter of primitive bargaining: Trump tried it the hard way, now he’ll try it the easy way, then the hard way again.
This isn't a politician's tactic, but a businessman's. He wants to negotiate some perks. If the Chinese refuse, he'll start whining about 500% tariffs again, and start making a big deal about Taiwan again—basically, it's business as usual.

The only problem is that Trump doesn't know in the morning what he'll do in the evening - his big toe on his left foot will only tell him after lunch.

I was thinking along similar lines about this. This isn't the first time Trump has spouted nonsense.

I don't think the visit to China was the main reason the strikes were called off. It's just that the Pentagon has never failed this far, and Trump can't afford to screw up again before the election. He has nothing to show Iran.

Well, yes, he didn’t calculate all the moves... Well, he’s not a chess player... Everything was instant, spontaneous... But it was loud!

In chess, you can't pull a trump queen out of your sleeve, and you can't win the pot by bluffing. That's why Donya isn't a chess player...

Trump is a very impulsive, narcissistic person; predicting his actions is like reading tea leaves. He says one thing today, does another tomorrow, and then something else the day after. Therefore, any articles about Trump's future actions aren't worth the ink.

Trump, like a showman, yesterday declared that only the United States and China have the technology to extract uranium from the underground ruins of the Iranian nuclear center.

Comrade C is waiting for Donald on his carpet, but Donald is also going to Comrade C with his carpet. Both C and Donald have ancient, very expensive Persian carpets.

You understand everything correctly. But only if Israel agrees.
