China accuses Trump of 'pouring oil' on Iran, Israel conflict​

Fanning flames, making threats won’t de-escalate but will intensify the conflict," says China’s foreign ministry

China on Tuesday accused President Donald Trump of "pouring oil" on the mounting conflict between Iran and Israel, after the US leader warned Tehran residents to "immediately evacuate".

Following decades of enmity and a prolonged shadow war, Israel launched a surprise aerial campaign last week against targets across Iran, saying it aimed to prevent its arch-foe from acquiring atomic weapons -- an ambition Tehran denies.

The sudden flare-up in hostilities has sparked fears of a wider conflict, with Trump urging Iran back to the negotiating table after Israel's attacks derailed ongoing nuclear talks.

Trump also issued an extraordinary warning on his Truth Social platform: "Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!"

Asked about Trump's remarks, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said: "Fanning the flames, pouring oil, making threats and mounting pressure will not help to promote the de-escalation of the situation, but will only intensify and widen the conflict.

"The Chinese side calls on all relevant parties, especially countries with special influence on Israel, to shoulder their responsibilities, take immediate measures to de-escalate tensions, and prevent the conflict from expanding and spreading."

China's embassies in Iran and Israel also urged Chinese citizens to leave the countries "as soon as possible", after Israel and Iran traded heavy strikes.

I have said it before and will say it again Pakistan has the greatest stakes riding on this conflict. As the solitary unmolested nuclear armed state. Pakistan has been warned ... veiled threats issued.


Do not take this lightly... do not be caught off guard. Help balance Iranian defenses and keep eyes peeled on India.

This has all the trappings of becoming one combined battlefield!

Israel is cancer. We need to pay full attention to this cancer. This illegitimate thief has the nerve to call Pakistan out. Netanyahu the genocidal baby killer made the wrong move. Pakistan needs to be prepared at all cost and take zero chances against Israel. We need to prepare and prepare some more. When push comes to shove, Israel needs to taken care of.

Hopefully there is no regime change. Iran should make a deal with the Americans and weather the storm.

 

[Immortals]

For the last day or two THIS is what Iran has been concentrating on

That's why targeting of Israel has fallen off , and that was the WHOLE POINT of U.S making threats and turning up

 

[KingQamaR]

Only after the U.S starts a attack

Otherwise they will use the closure of Hormuz as a reason to attack

Once Hormuz is closed your effecting

Iran, Iraq, UAEz Qatar, Bahrain etc and oil and gas issues for the world, it can't remain closed for long and Iran has enough anti ship missiles, mines, etc to do that

America is not going to leave Iran alone. Don’t play to there rules you won’t win. They are underestimating Iran powerful cards it can play. To late now to be worried of consequences for Iran.

This is war , it's has it high and low ...

Iranian navy has survived? I thought its first think Israel would target.

No mention of naval losses by the Israelis.

Apart from normal ships, Iran has hundreds of small attack craft.

Report that Ahmadi Najad sahab survived the assassination attempt

Fake news. Fake threats.

They still keep saying their “secret weapons” are coming. What if it’s all to prevent panic and chaos and desertion? Has anyone considered that?

What military would sit around and take hundreds of air strikes and not respond because of a so called “perfect moment”

It's called assymetric warfare because Iran knows the US and Israel have military dominance. It's either that they're planning something or they simply can't launch any more missiles.

Political disloyalty paranoia and nothing else.

Because of this culture of killing meritocracy in favour of politically loyal appointments, they made the Iranian brain run away from Iran. Iran produces worlds 4th largest STEM force, it has worlds second largest hydrocarbon reserves, a giant geography spread across three seas. If Mullahs wanted they could have built a Japan in ME, a true powerhouse of an empire they stole from jackass Shah but like I said most of these idiots come from bottom of the Iranian society, they just could not handle power.

I used to equate them with Qajar Turks, but not anymore Qajars phucked Ottomans inside Turkey and Russians in Russian territory when Iran was threatened by them. IRI did no such thing.

I agree since 1979 all they did was build 2000 ballistics missiles

no air force and no navy to speak off

Iran could have been a lot of things, but sadly I think the time is now too close

Pakistan is next and we know it

I wonder what people will think 100 years from now
