As the American‑Israeli war on Iran unfolds in early 2026, many call it Trump and Netanyahu’s personal war.
But this episode argues something deeper: it is also Barack Obama’s war.
The conflict Obama declared on China years ago has quietly shaped everything in the Middle East for the past ten to fifteen years. From that perspective, the war on Iran is not a detour—it is part of a single, continuous path laid out by Obama to contain China.
So rather than asking the obvious question—”What is China’s position on the war?”—this episode asks a different one: Where does China belong in this war? Not geopolitically, but in the minds of American decision‑makers.
Can the war on Iran truly be separated from America’s broader confrontation with the People’s Republic of China? The answer may reshape how we see the entire conflict.
