They just put a lot of money into Iran's hands, which they can then use to destabilize their neighbors.
So, this is something that President Trump, I think, needs to talk more about.
On your earlier point, by kicking the can down the road, that's absolutely right.
And if anybody ever does an update to Profiles in Courage, which is John F. Kennedy's book, they should add a chapter on President Trump's dealing with Iran, because this was bound to be politically unpopular, and Trump took it on anyway because of the threat that Iran posed to the United States and to our allies and partners.
And he did it.
And that took a lot of courage.
Before the bombing began on February 28th, there was a private Chinese company, I think it's Shanghai-based, Maser Vision, which was providing to the world images of U.S.
military assets in the region along with precise coordinates.
And then, of course, there's that large Chinese intelligence ship just off of Iran's coast.
So you put those two things together and clearly they're supplying targeting data.
We know that China has its own constellation of satellites.
Of course, we don't know what is being beamed down from them, but I imagine it is what the Russians have been accused of doing, and that is providing the Iranians with targeting information.
Remember, they took out our AWACS plane in Saudi Arabia.
They hit it exactly where it would do the most damage, in the back.
And that takes a lot of information that the Iranians themselves don't have.

And of course he tweeted or he put on Truth Social that 80% tariffs seemed about right. That would be down from a general rate of 145. But on some Chinese products, the rate is actually 245 because of the existing tariffs. I don't know where this is going to go. The Chinese are hanging very tough.
