BEIJING, July 20 (Xinhua) -- China opposes attacks on civilian facilities, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Monday in response to recent missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia's Abha International Airport.

The sovereignty and security of Saudi Arabia and other countries should be respected, Lin added at a regular media briefing.

Did they make any such statement on US attacks on Iranian civilian facilities???

So whenever Iran posts exact information about a target odds are lately they hit said target

This is why ships are willing to risk it running thru the strait — BIG BONUSES

Qatar seeks compensation for Iranian attacks​

By Mohamed Vall
Reporting from Doha, Qatar
Qatar has sent letters to the UN Security Council and the UN Secretary General detailing what it describes as repeated Iranian attacks on the country.

The letters cite the July 7 attack on the Qatari tanker Al Rekayyat and a missile attack on Qatar on July 12, which Doha says its armed forces repelled.

Qatar says the attacks violated international law and relevant UN Security Council resolutions. It is seeking compensation for the resulting damage and says it reserves the right to respond.

The letters come as tensions continue in the Strait of Hormuz. UK Maritime Trade Operations reported another incident involving a vessel near Oman, the second such case in about 24 hours.

The vessel was travelling close to what is known as the southern route. Iran says ships using that route without coordinating with Tehran violate the Memorandum of Understanding governing traffic through the strait.

Tehran accuses the United States and other countries of promoting the route to weaken Iranian control over shipping, keeping the waterway at the centre of the escalating confrontation.

Fair if Iran is paid back first I think they have a long list Israel trump Saudi Arabia UAE Qatar Kuwait Jordan Bahrain Oman Azeribajan and honestly let’s throw most of Western Europe for allowing bases in their countries to be used for the war

No!......The Chinese do exactly like da Japanese or Koreans do.....

Public consumption rhetoric to satisfy their biggest trade partners in the west
And private strategic dialogue (with promises of releasing blocked Iranian funds)

I wonder if these posters simping for a young female fighter wrote a fraction of these sentences for the Minab school and other innocent victims in Iran. Probably not.

Very common for men to sympathise with women, particularly young and pretty ones (if she is pretty in some people's eyes).

Dude that’s weird really really weird there’s a saying if you have nothing nice to say better not to say nothing she was basically a child who most likely thought this was going to give her a pass to a better life honestly I hate when random people show up on this thread makes my ignore list a lot longer

Thousands of centrifuges were moved to Iran’s deeply buried nuclear site known as PickAxe Mountain after the 12 day war.

Will Iran dash for the bomb? Has it already been doing it? Is PickAxe just a diversion for the real small facility that is doing the enrichment and weaponization peace?

Assuming Iran started building a bomb in fall of 2025, then logic would dictate it would be ready for testing by the end of this year.

Pickaxe Mountain is repeatedly mentioned now in the Western press. And that's because the Israelis are obsessed with it and losing sleep over it. Trump the corrupt compromised Zionist will likely try to do something about it before this war ends.

I do not believe however that even with enriched uranium and some centrifuges Iran can make a nuke because you need more equipment and facilities than that. The window for Iran to make a nuke has passed.

I didn't say anything bad. Why are you overreacting like a juvenile?

Or the Israelis could be full of but honestly I hope the Iranians do go nuclear not for them to actually use a nuclear weapon against anyone but to keep these fools away so weird that this “intelligence” is coming out now and how no one noticed all of this movement until recently

If they really are actually going nuclear and at break neck speed I’m with @Immortals that pickaxe is just a nice diversion especially with them openly working in that area in plain view of satellites not even trying to hide it

The main things you need is about 100-200 centrifuges of IR-6 or IR-4 generation. That can be packed into pretty small halls in a mountain or underneath a city or anywhere really. Remember that Pakistan went nuclear with AQ Khan’s Gen 1 design aka IR-1 design. IR-6 is 5x to 10x more efficient (SWU). That means 1 IR-6 centuries can do the work of at least 5 Pakistani Khan Gen 1 centrifuges from 30+ years ago.

So Spin the 60% uranium to weapons grade.

Then take the uranium and fashion it into uranium metal core (certain facilities can do this ad hoc since the main facility was destroyed in the 12 day war).

After that fashion the bridge detonator to create the chain reaction needed (this was likely solved in the early 2000s).

Ideally Iran would need at least 4-5 bombs.

1 to detonate for testing. And a 2nd to detonate 2 weeks later to show the West that:

A) first detonation wasn’t a fluke

B) they have more than one nuke

Weaponization to get it to fit on a missile warhead will take longer, but Iran isn’t trying to race to get this on a missile.

As I said when this war began, if Iran started sprinting for the bomb after the 12 day war then it should be testing it by the end of this year.

If they don’t test by end of this year, then it’s likely that the order was never given.
