Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

[Arash]

NEW: A source close to Ghalibaf assesses that if Trump fails to get China to pressure Iran over its nuclear program, the US will immediately move to execute a "massive aerial operation" striking 25 percent of remaining Iranian targets.

Iran would respond by activating its missile system at 90 percent operational control to strike US and Israeli bases as well as Gulf power stations, the source says, triggering global "economic paralysis" and a prolonged regional war that "ends American influence in the Middle East."

China looking after it's own interests shouldn't have translated into China throwing people of Iran to the dogs.

China has a veto power, use it for the greater good, otherwise leave the UN as the permanent member.

China as all the other PMSC uses its UN veto power first for its own interests. Sorry, that's how UNSC is structured and you don't get to decide. China is not some other countries' gun. Don't use double standard on China. If you don't like the UNSC and UN in general, get all the countries to disband them.

U.A.E will collapse if Iran strikes back. I hope war doesn't resume but that would be a nice sight.

Honestly, Saudis will not even need tanks, just half a days drive on first class grade highway from Saudi border to Abu Dhabi and this whole weird UAE experiment can finally come to an end...

There is an entire literature out there examining how the US has historically used its veto power to shield Israel from even the slightest criticism, even in situations that ran against its own interests. Ditto examples of the UK doing so.

I don't think any state thinks of its "interests" as autistically as you're presenting here.

Why the Iran conflict is becoming a problem for BRICS​

Why the Iran conflict is becoming a problem for BRICS

Second BRICS meeting in a row collapses without joint position because of disagreements over the war on Iran.

Then why yapp about China supporting Iran's territorial and sovereign integrity after imposing international sanctions in the first place to weaken the country?

Is China in Europe or Asia, and is it some sort of a weak and pathetic nation that it has to follow the white man?

Lol, in those cases, US and UK see defending Israel at any cost as its own interests, that simple. China also has used its UNSC veto many times on behalf of Pakistan in the past decades.

In principle, China will support Iran as all other countries territorial and sovereign integrity. Lol, that doesn't mean China has to support any country in every situation in UN vote.

So everything that the UNSC members do is, by definition, always in their interest? Surely you're not so intellectually incurious as to believe something as simplistic as that?

In any case, it's genuinely bizarre that China treats its veto power as if it were a nuclear weapon. It doesn't fit its economic or military stature in the world. Like others have said, it may aswell leave and start something else if it's not willing to play the game like the others.

China play what games unlike others in UNSC ? That's so funny for you to say such thing, lol. You mean China doesn't play the games according to your wishes. Too bad, you don't get to decide. By the reality of the world, your UK should be the first to be kicked out as PM of UNSC because UK is not really independent, but a lapdog of US, better replace with some other country more qualified.

Saudi Arabia should take over a fake 'nation' like the UAE where most of the residents are expat workers. It seems UAE is becoming a launchpad for Israel and even India. What stupid leadership!

You just said that everything the UK does at the UNSC is in its interest. Now you're saying it's a lapdog of the US. Which is it? (Obviously it is a lapdog)

It must be very comforting to imagine that everything China doesn't do at the UNSC is a 5D chess move.

Then don't go around backing international sanctions on Asian nations at the behest of the white man.

If you have the veto power, use it like the US has been using for Israel for more than 50 times at least.

Again, China will vote according to the situations and China's interests.

I don't understand this discussion about China's Veto in UNSC? Isn't lately China been vetoing UNSC against Iran with Russia also vetoing? Past is past. Even in case of Pakistan, China once allowed some international vote which designated some groups inside Pakistan as proscribed groups. You don't see Pakistan bitching about that.
