Trump threatened to take Iran's Kharg Island, and by extension Iran's oil industry.

Leaving aside that this "excursion" was supposed to be about Iranian nukes but was always really about oil just as it has been since the CIA overthrew Iran's government in 1953, the primary buyer of Iranian oil is China. About 1.5 million barrels per day, or ~10% of China's daily oil import comes from Iran.

Tell me: you think China is going to stand by and allow Trump to control that much of their economy? Do you really?
