The Iran Israel and US war commenced with Iran suffering the most by way of massive destruction in human loss as well as material. Now after a month the scenerio of the global defense and polits is changing massively.

However, it is not yet clear as to who would win this war finally. But the way this war has enhanced the position and reputation of China in the global arena it has also provided China a golden opportunity to make the Chinese currency Yuan the base of the global market and also benefiting Rossia immensely. The Russia’s revenues have doubled in this one month due to rising oil prices and increased oil exports due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Russian crude oil has increased from $45 per barrel to $90 per barrel.

760 million barrels/day of oil exports. If the war continues for a few more weeks, annual revenues will reach $218.5 billion (a 63% increase, an extra $84 billion).

China’s political status is also big in this war, no ceasefire agreement is possible without taking China into confidence, this war has also provided opportunities for China to become a new player in the oil trade, 90% of Iran’s oil is going to China, now only those ships will be able to come out of Hormuz, which will pay in Yuan, eight countries of the world have also started buying oil in Yuan, this oil trade is giving China an opportunity to to develop as a new world leader.

China and Russia have been intent on fighting against Israel and the United States for decades. This war has provided them with a face for Iran, which they are exploiting to their fullest extent.
China and Russia have not directly sent troops to Iran, but have strengthened it with dual-use technology, intelligence, and hardware. Drawing on its experience in the Ukraine war, Russia has provided Iran with modified versions of the Shahed drone, navigation systems, and electronic warfare counter measures.

According to reports in the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post, Russia shared satellite imagery of US warships, aircraft, and bases with Iran. This allowed Iranian strikes to be more precise—on targets like the THAAD radar (in Jordan) and the Al Udeid base (in Qatar). China provided the BeiDou-3 navigation system, the YLC-8B anti-stealth radar, and satellite SIGINT (signal intelligence). Components for the S-400 air defense system and the Su-35 fighter jet were also supplied.

Using the technology and military capabilities of China and Russia, Iran has taken an initial lead by adding the courage and moral strength of its citizens. This has also happened because while the youth of Iran above the age of 12 are ready for its army, the public came out on the streets in the war between America and Israel, this is also Iran’s psychological advantage.
