Why is Trump in such a hurry? To put it bluntly—he can't afford to wait. Over the past month, Trump has been quite 'humiliated' in dealing with Iran: not only was he forced to postpone his visit to China until May, but he also withdrew a large amount of military forces deployed in Japan and South Korea to the Middle East.
A recent article from the New York Times is filled with anxiety. To summarize, 'Three U.S. presidents have shouted about prioritizing China, yet all ended up bogged down in the Middle East':
1) George W. Bush designated China as a strategic opponent, but when 9/11 happened, he dove headfirst into the deserts of Iraq;
2) Obama had grand ambitions to 'pivot to Asia', yet he was dragged into the quagmire of the Afghanistan war, burning through trillions of dollars;
3) Biden is even worse, with the Gaza conflict emerging, the containment of China has become a half-finished project;
The China strategy of three consecutive presidents has been precisely intercepted by the Middle East, leaving us with a golden development period of 20 years.
As Trump seems poised to fall into the same pit, the American elites can no longer sit still. However, can Trump really stop the war whenever he wants? It seems highly unlikely. The initiative to stop the war largely lies in Iran's hands. No wonder a frustrated Trump even said, 'America doesn't need the Strait of Hormuz,' and suggested that countries in need of oil should go to the Middle East to 'grab' it themselves.
