“I lost all hope of standing on my feet but my condition improved drastically,” Kaur told This Week In Asia. “It’s nothing short of a miracle.”

"Military sources", "Israel" lol

Most likely Israel is taking advantage of Iran's current insecurity with the China-GCC joint statement and is trying to pile in to split Iran from China and thus make Iran more isolated.

Mossad mind games probably
Was thinking about the same thing.

First and foremost, if China really does that, it could risk a direct violation of the NPT which China has signed in the 1990s.

But on the flipside, if the allegation is untrue, then I believe this could be Israel trying to victim-cry for their daddy i.e. the USA to come over and intervene in the Middle East, in light of the enhanced cooperation between China and Saudi Arabia + the Gulf states announced during Xi's recent visit to Riyadh.

Perhaps Tel Aviv is feeling unease and anxious that China is now openly iterating support for Palestine.

A little misinformation can help turn around the easily misled, the already anti-China monkeys that are always on the prowl.
Israel intentionally misleading Iran that China is about to give nukes to Saudi Arabia -> Iran becomes even more angry and hasten the development of their nuclear weapons program -> Iran got its nuke/close to getting one -> Israel found out -> Israel and the US conduct military strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities?

Like that?

I see significant geopolitical alignment with Israel abd US realigning with Iran to counter the GCC and to make them think twice about making an enemy of this powers. It just takes the West lifting the sanctions on Iran and making peace between Iran and Israel

Israel aligning with Iran? Its not that crazy, but there is far too much baggage there for that to happen in the short or medium term

Don't forget that the Arabs aren't stupid, they have already covered their rear by joining the Abraham Accords

Saudi Arabia Says $50 Billion Investments Agreed at China Summit​

About $50 billion of investment agreements were signed during the China summit held in Saudi Arabia last week, the kingdom’s investment minister said, without giving details on the types of deals or countries involved.

The pacts included both the private and public sectors, Khalid Al Falih told Bloomberg on the sidelines of a conference Sunday in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. He didn’t specify whether the figure also reflected agreements involving other Arab nations whose leaders attended too.

Biden administration wants to end sanctions against Iran but Israel felt Iran is the number one threat to its survival. Until Israel changes its mind. Nothing would happen.
