New world order's rules no longer US-centric: Ex-IRGC chief cmdr.
Former chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), Mohsen Rezaei says the US president’s appeal to China to help resolve a crisis of his own making involving Iran reflects the emerging world order’s shift away from Washington.
"The US president arrived in Beijing, and departed from it, not from a position of strength, but under the heavy shadow of failure in the war against Iran," Rezaei wrote in a post on X on Friday.

During his recent trip to China, Trump asked his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping for assistance towards resolution of the predicaments that have arisen out of the unprovoked American-Israeli aggression against Iran from February 28 to April 7.
Besides targeting numerous American and Israeli targets across the region in reprisal, Iran closed down the strategic Strait of Hormuz to enemies and their allies. The Islamic Republic began imposing far stricter controls over the waterway after Trump announced continuation of an illegal naval blockade of the country, despite a standing ceasefire.
The entire situation has sent shockwaves throughout global energy markets, notably in the United States, where rising gasoline prices threaten Trump's already record-low popularity rates and his chances in upcoming midterm elections in November.
"When he (Trump) looks to China’s influence to contain a crisis of his own making, it means the emerging new world order is rapidly shaping rules that are no longer centered around the United States," Rezaei added.
Iran has refused to rejoin negotiations with Washington unless Tehran's demands, including removal of the blockade, realization of a definitive end to whatever aggression on all fronts, and provision of compensation, were met.
