U.S. Energy Moves: Strangling China, Protecting Israel, Silencing Turkey

Reading the crises in world politics as “coincidence” would be naïve. The U.S. attack on Iran and the operation in Venezuela are links in the same chain. The target is not only Tehran or Caracas; it is China’s energy lifelines. Washington is trying to curb Beijing in global competition by cutting off the flow of cheap and secure oil.

Iran: Israel’s Security, China’s Energy

Iran is a strategic energy partner for China. Beijing secures much of its cheap oil from Iran. The U.S. attack aims to weaken Iran’s regional power while also targeting China’s energy security. The Israel factor cannot be overlooked here. Tel Aviv wants to limit Iran’s regional influence. The U.S. strategy against China overlaps with Israel’s security concerns. The result: operations against Iran both ensure Israel’s security and slow down China’s rise.

Venezuela: An Energy Blow in Latin America

Venezuela is one of China’s largest oil suppliers. Moreover, due to sanctions, China was buying this oil at discounted prices. The U.S. operation against Maduro’s government seeks to cut off this flow, once again squeezing China’s energy lifelines. This intervention in Latin America also aims to limit Russia’s influence in the region. But the main strategic goal is to weaken China’s energy security.

Israel: The Key Link in the Chain

It would be incomplete to read the Iran and Venezuela operations separately. Israel, especially regarding Iran, aligns its interests with the U.S. For Tel Aviv, the issue is limiting Iran’s regional power; for Washington, it is cutting China’s energy lifelines. These two goals converge in the same operation. Israel secures its own safety while also serving U.S. global strategy.

Turkey’s Silence

And Turkey? Ankara has not raised a strong voice against these U.S. attacks. The silence is striking. Iran is a neighbor; Venezuela is a friend; China is Turkey’s largest trading partner. Yet Turkey’s quiet stance is interpreted as avoiding an open challenge to Washington. Some commentators explain this silence as “balance politics,” while others see it as “timidity.” But the reality is this: Turkey’s silence amounts to tacit approval of U.S. global chess moves.

Global Chess

The U.S. moves in Iran and Venezuela are complementary links in a chain. The target is not only regional regimes but China’s energy lifelines. Israel is the critical link in this chain, bridging its own security concerns with U.S. global strategy. Turkey’s silence stands out as a gap in this game. The conflicts we see today are in fact part of a global chess match played over energy. And the arrangement of the pieces in this game will determine not only the future of the Middle East but of the entire world.
