🌍【Latest Update on US-Iran Situation】May 16, 2026

🔴 Israeli officials announced last night: preparations are underway to restart military operations against Iran! The Pentagon has drafted multiple strike plans, including more aggressive bombing campaigns against Iran’s military infrastructure, and deploying special forces to search underground for nuclear materials. 50k U.S. troops, 2 aircraft carriers, over 10 destroyers, and dozens of fighter jets are on 24-hour standby, with the earliest possibility of resuming attacks next week.

🤝 But Trump also left a diplomatic window open. He first hinted on Air Force One: a 20-year pause on Iran’s nuclear program is enough to reach an agreement, “it must be a real 20 years.” However, he also said patience is running out, calling the ceasefire “at the request of other countries.”

🇨🇳 China’s stance is clear: dialogue and negotiations are the right way, there is no future in military solutions. The Strait of Hormuz should be reopened as soon as possible to maintain global supply chain stability.

⚠️ The Strait of Hormuz accounts for 20% of global oil transportation. If conflict reignites, oil prices will inevitably surge! The crypto market will also be affected by risk aversion. Follow us to stay on top, little fairy continues to track!
