A new flashpoint is emerging in the global energy war as tensions rise between the US and China over Iran’s oil trade. Washington has tightened sanctions, refusing to renew relief that allowed Iranian oil sales, while warning Beijing against continuing imports. A new report adds a security twist, claiming Iran used a Chinese-linked satellite to monitor US military bases. The U.S. has labelled China an “unreliable partner,” while Russia has stepped in, offering to offset China’s energy needs. For years, China has been the lifeline of Iran’s oil exports through shadow networks. Now, as Donald Trump ramps up pressure, a larger geopolitical and energy realignment is unfolding.
