The recent Middle East game is really blurring. The Trump administration has just launched a "20-point plan" to solve the Gaza issue, and it is quite confident that Israel and Hamas will cease fire immediately.

The plan seems to be quite comprehensive, as if it wants to quickly put the matter under control so that the United States can make another move in the Middle East. However, things are not that simple. Change comes quickly.

Almost at the same time, Hamas and Israelis sneaked to Egypt on October 6th to start negotiations.Negotiations are difficult, and the two sides have not made concessions on the conditions of the ceasefire and the lifting of the blockade.

Intermediaries such as Egypt and Qatar have been mediating, but there is still little hope for peace. The outcome of this negotiation affects the hearts of the whole Middle East.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthi armed forces in Yemen are waiting for news from Hamas.Their attitude is clear, Hamas fights, and they go up together; Hamas stops, and they listen to Hamas.

However, among all this news, the one most nervous should be Iran. Those who made the decision in Tehran are now conflicted: the war in Gaza will not stop, and there will be no peace in the Middle East. Maybe one day the war will burn on Iran itself.

But if Hamas can't bear it and admit to Israel, then the next thing Israel will have to deal with is likely to be Iran.At that time, Iran¡¯s dominated ¡°Arc of Resistance¡± strategic system would be in danger.

At this critical moment, something happened that the Trump administration didn't expect. Yazdanian, head of the Iranian Space Research Institute, publicly asked China for help. Iran is still using the U.S. GPS system, which is a big issue for national security. They are discussing with China to replace it with China's Beidou system.

It's a little sudden, but it's also reminiscent of the past. It turns out that Iran has always been controlled by the United States in such an important field.

No wonder it was always so easy for US military planes to bomb Iranian targets in the past.This pain has forced Iran to seek change.

Iran¡¯s decision was not thought of. As early as 2021, China and Iran signed that 25-year comprehensive cooperation agreement, which stated that ¡°Iran¡¯s weapons can use Beidou to navigate with military signals.¡±This paved the way for today's cooperation.

There are deeper reasons for making Iran so concerned.In September, the Iranian president visited the Chinese parade and felt shocked.

The next day, he held an emergency cabinet meeting, clearly calling for "accelerating the implementation of the 25-year China-Iran cooperation agreement" and also emphasizing the need to "unify thinking and avoid internal strife."Tehran seems to feel that taking a fast train to develop China is the only way to solve their security problems.

In the short term, they intend to shift the positioning services in these key areas of military and economic in the next one or two years, all from GPS to Beidou systems.

In the long run, Iran¡¯s goal is to launch its own satellite within the next three to five years and build a fully independent ¡°space eye.¡±The Beidou system is a transition for them to achieve strategic autonomy.

Faced with Iran's extended olive branch, China must think about it. First, the issue of responsibility. The relationship between Iran and Israel is so bad now that there is a high possibility of direct conflict between them.

At that time, if the Iranian army uses the Beidou system during the war, no matter what technical problems, even if Beidou does not matter, Iran may blame China.

Secondly, this matter will have a big impact. Once China has promised to Iran, it is equivalent to publicly saying that the Chinese-US satellite navigation struggle in the Middle East has officially begun.

Next, countries such as Lebanon, Yemen and even Qatar may also learn from Iran and use Beidou instead of GPS. This will definitely affect the interests of the United States and touch the bottom line of the United States.Is Beijing ready for such a direct and fierce contest with the United States in the Middle East?

Therefore, Iran¡¯s request is indeed a problem for China. We will definitely consider it well and comprehensively evaluate the benefits and disadvantages.

China¡¯s Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Zedong said: ¡°Beijing in China is also the beijing of the world.¡± This statement illustrates China¡¯s idea of open cooperation.

Now, the amount of this word is waiting for reality to be tested.How this cooperation between China and Iran on space and strategy will develop, the world is watching.
