China’s support for Iran is just one example of how national interests frequently take precedence over ideological alignment in the chaotic chessboard games of international politics.
Israel launched its attack on Iran on June 13 because it believed that Iran shouldn’t possess nuclear weapons. This marked the beginning of the war.
But the US strike on Iran’s three nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—on June 21 added a new level of complexity to the scenario.
“An initial battle damage assessment showed that all three sites had suffered extreme severe damage and destruction,” said Gen. Caine, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.
