Then why is Israel actively targeting ANY Iranian looking to negotiate with the US, like they want Iran to follow through?
Because they do want Iran to follow through. Which is why Iran hasn't followed through yet.
Chinese leadership will focus elsewhere for resources
Where? Venezuela is gone. Russia can supply some as they already do. But being completely dependent on Russia is probably not what China wants.
So they'd have to find new reserves and even if they find other oil and gas reserves they'd still have to invest time and money to extract them. Just as they would have to invest time and money to help Iran and the Middle East to get back on their feet.
So why would they drop Iran as an allied nation? Literally no reason for it.
Allowing strikes on energy and targets that can be interpreted as civilian weakened Iran's hand.
They only did after the US/Israel struck their facilities. Public opinion is on Iran's side. Israels propaganda falls on deaf ears all around the world. Nobody gives a shit anymore.
Iran is winning. Iran is winning the war for public opinion and currently even the war on the ground.
If you mean everyone hates Isreal is Iran winning, that was happening BEFORE this war.
In terms of overall, I'd call Iran having a pyrrhic victory, ironically the same level as Israel only Israel HAS the resources and connections to start bunkering it's people in other countries, Iranians are trapped in that area.
As for China rebuilding the Gulf, that would take half a decade at least to do, something they can't afford to do if they still want to take Taiwan militarily as that window is closing more and more.

Iran has single-handedly destroyed every US base in the Middle East. It has shown the entire globe and especially the Gulf states that being an ally to the US is far worse than being its enemy.
Why do you think Trump is sperging out so hard? The US corpo empire is literally killing itself at the moment.
Israel HAS the resources and connections to start bunkering it's people in other countries
Iran would love nothing more than to push out Israel and the US entirely. That would literally be the best possible outcome for them. Also Israelis are so unbelievably unlikable bunkering them in other countries won't go over well.
But anyway why should Iran give a shit anyway? It's not their problem.
Iranians are trapped in that area.
Iran is their ancestral home. Calling living in your ancestral homeland that your people have lived in for millennia continuously and defending it as being trapped is strange to say the least.
As for China rebuilding the Gulf, that would take half a decade at least to do
And finding other oil/gas reserves would take at least that long too. But if they'd rebuild the Gulf they would practically own it as they do large chunks of Africa.
something they can't afford to do if they still want to take Taiwan militarily as that window is closing more and more.
It's closing? It's literally opening up considering that the US is globally depleting their entire strategic military stockpiles to achieve fucking nothing while destroying countless relationships in the process. At this rate China only has to wait and do nothing.

Tell that to the generals they keep removing, ask Stalin that it never works out to do that before an invasion.
On the plus side, that led to the White Death having a massive kill count..
Who should I tell that to? China or the US? Because that's precisely what Trump and Hegseth are doing at the moment.
