China and Russia have announced their intention to cooperate in their defence of Iran. According to media, Donald Trump has received a powerful message. According to media report, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping have urged the president to limit US involvement in Israel's conflict. During a telephone conversation between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, both leaders called Israel's action a violation of international law and the United Nations Charter.
Xi-Putin Condemn Israel, Urge U.S. Restraint
Xi Jinping and Putin spoke on the telephone at a time when Donald Trump, behaving like a street thug and contract killer, has threatened to kill the Iranian president. Two days before, Trump had threatened to assassinate Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran. According to the Kremlin, the Russian and Chinese presidents vehemently denounced the Israeli strike on Iran over the phone, media said. However, during this time, Xi Jinping spoke in a slightly more restrained tone in Beijing's statement and refrained from explicitly condemning Israel. In order to prevent the regional conflict from spreading and to ensure that a ceasefire is soon reached, the Chinese president has urged both parties to the war—Israel in particular—to refrain from intensifying the fight rather than denouncing Israel. However, in a previous exchange with his Iranian counterpart, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi harshly attacked Israel. However, Xi Jinping made a ceasefire appeal to the "disputing parties" without mentioning Israel.
China and Russia come together with Iran
The telephone conversation between Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin took place at a time when many reports have claimed that many Chinese aircraft have landed in Iran. There have been concerns that China has supplied Iran with weaponry. We aren't verifying this, though. America has long been blamed by China for the Middle East's instability. The current war is also being blamed by many Chinese political analysts on America. Liu Zhongmin, a Middle East expert at Shanghai International Studies University, has blamed Donald Trump's foreign policy for the current situation. He has said that due to Trump, a state of instability and chaos has spread in the Middle East. He has said that "Donald Trump has seriously weakened the authority and credibility of US policy in the Middle East, destroyed America's leadership and image among its allies, and weakened its ability to threaten and deter regional opponents."
Will Israel-Iran get trapped in a war like Ukraine?
Many Chinese experts say that Donald Trump is trapping the Middle East in an indefinite war. Officials close to Donald Trump have repeatedly pointed out the need for Washington to redeploy its attention and resources to counter China's ambitions in the Indo-Pacific. Yet five months later, the war in Ukraine and Gaza continues, and now America is planning to enter the war in Israel. On the other hand, China does not want the end of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's rule in Iran. Iran has become a formidable power in the Middle East and a rival to American hegemony under the leadership of Supreme Leader Khamenei. China is currently contesting American dominance in precisely this manner.
Strengthening China-Iran-Russia Ties Amid Geopolitical Shifts
In 2023, China surprised the United States by making friendships with Iran and Saudi Arabia. China has traditionally backed Iran by importing Iranian oil and holding a seat on the UN Security Council. China and Iran have conducted joint naval exercises and strengthened their strategic ties in recent years. Beijing invited Tehran to join BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. This organisation, which is thought to be an organisation to oppose the US-influenced G7, consists of China, Russia, and India. In addition, Iran plays a significant role in China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). In addition, China wants to invest $400 billion in Iran over the course of the next several years. Additionally, Russia does not want Iran's fort to collapse.
Another crucial country for Russia is Iran. Additionally, Russia has also presented itself as a mediator to end to the Israel-Iran conflict. A statement issued by China said that during the talks with Putin, Xi Jinping has put forward four proposals to reduce tensions. In which talks with Iran on the nuclear issue and civilian security have been put at the forefront. Meanwhile, Xi Jinping's foreign minister, Wang Yi, has spoken to the foreign ministers of Iran and Israel as well as Egypt and Oman on the phone in support of Iran. Still, it is not clear at the moment whether Beijing is really ready to mediate in the conflict or not. In the early stages of Israel's war on Gaza, China made a similar offer and sent a special envoy to the region to promote peace talks, which failed. According to media report, establishing peace in the Middle East is a difficult task, especially for a country that does not have experience in mediating to stop long-running wars. The situation in the Middle East is quite complex. Therefore, Donald Trump's.
