As the Israel–Iran conflict intensifies, China’s reliance on cheap oil from Iran and its $400 billion deal with the Islamic regime may be in jeopardy.
If the Iranian regime is toppled, analysts say, the Chinese communist regime will not only face an economic blow, but its expansionist global strategy that involves using the Middle East as a frontier to contain the West also will be thwarted.
Currently, more than 90 percent of Iran’s oil exports flow to China, the world’s largest oil importer, according to Kpler, an international trade data provider.
Israeli media carried footage of broken windows and thick black smoke coming from the top floor of a building at the Soroka Hospital.
The hospital said in a statement that several parts of the medical center were damaged and several people with minor injuries were being treated.
The Israeli Air Force struck two more of Iran’s nuclear sites on June 19, including a nuclear reactor capable of producing weapons-grade plutonium and the country’s largest uranium enrichment facility.
The IDF later said that Israel’s air force had conducted strikes on Arak and another site at Natanz used to enrich nuclear material, as part of a wave of attacks on military targets in Tehran and other areas.
