Israel urges China to use its ‘influence’ to stop Iran’s nuclear program​

Published: 17 April ,2023: 09:45 PM GST

Israel’s top diplomat on Monday urged China to use its “influence” on Iran to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons.

Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said he spoke with his Chinese counterpart, Qin Gang, and “called on him to exert his influence on Iran to stop the progress of the nuclear program, which poses a danger to many countries in the Middle East and the world.”

“The State of Israel will act in any way to prevent the terrorist regime in Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons,” Cohen wrote on Twitter.

Israel accuses Iran of attempting to develop nuclear weapons, which Tehran denies.

Israel has repeatedly warned that it would take military action if diplomatic efforts fail to curb Iran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program.

Efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, of which China is a party, have stalled since last year.

The deal offered Iran relief from international sanctions in exchange for strict but temporary curbs on its nuclear program. The agreement unraveled after the US withdrew from it under former President Donald Trump in 2018.

China, which has close relations with Iran, recently brokered a diplomatic breakthrough between Iran and Saudi Arabia, resulting in the restoration of diplomatic relations between the two regional powers after a seven-year hiatus.

First, Israel is picking a fight with Iran for no practical reason. Had they resolved the Palestinean issue, they wouldn't need to b*tch and moan to anyone last 75 years.

China need not do anything.

On top of that, China is building goodwill with Muslims due to American intervention (direct or indirect ) and the killing's last several decades of Muslims. They already have India and the West to deal with, and the last thing you need is another billion people to turn against you on the pretext they are helping Israel. So why piss off one billion people for six million or some rats in a valley.
 
They would be better off asking the US to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal. Considering the risk (see what North Korea could do in less than a decade; a Solid Fuel ICBM and 250 kt warheads), it’s the only way to stop the Iranian program.
 
China previously sided with the USA and voted in favour of UNSC Resolutions against Iran but those days are a distant memory and a lot has changed since then.

That said, nobody can stop the progress of Iran's nuclear program.

Iran is best not going back into any deal, as the U.S. practically showed when its will changes, the piece of paper isn't worth what it's written on. Also, every nation has a right to develop and arm itself with weapons they deem fit for survival. And right now, Iran needs them more than anyone. Those who gave up such weapons are dysfunctional societies and wrecked beyond repair.
 
So, now, everyone, the Europeans, Israelis and Ukrainians for example are asking China to use its influence on third parties to solve their problems for them, why should China ? After all, these countries are not friendly to China. China is not their servent.
 
Iran is the great wall of Chinese-Russo axis in the Mediterraneans. Iran stopped Anglo invasion on Syria and Iraq, Iran helped Taliban to get rid of Americans.

Why should China shoot itself in the feet? Given that Iranian nuclear program in its very nature was peaceful.

Israel is a drowning cancer, they are getting drown in innocent blood of their victims. No one can undo their destruction which was started with Iranian Islamic revolution.
 
has Israel scaled down its own nuke program? Sounds like uncle sam whining if another country becomes strong or stronger and never picks on an enemy directly that is half or more than its own size & strength.
 
They’ve been saying they’re months away from nukes for the last 20 years.
