Israel-Iran War: The war between Iran and Israel now seems to be moving towards a global crisis. On Saturday, the US took a big step by attacking three nuclear sites of Iran. There were long speculations that the US could get involved in this conflict, and this apprehension was deepened by the continuous activism of former President Donald Trump. Ultimately this apprehension proved true and the US has further complicated the equations of the Middle East by taking military action.China expressed strong objectionChina has reacted sharply to this military action of America. Beijing not only condemned the attack, but warned that this step could once again lead the US to repeat the same strategic mistake that was made during the Iraq War in 2003. The Chinese Foreign Ministry said that history has repeatedly shown that military intervention in West Asia leads to disastrous results. China believes that diplomacy and dialogue are the only paths to peace in the region.President Xi Jinping has already appealed to all parties to exercise restraint, especially Israel was urged to stop the attack. China's official media has accused the US of deliberately provoking this crisis.The meaning of Russia's old warningsAlthough there has been no official response from Russia after the US attack, Russia has already advised the US several times to stay away from military intervention in this conflict. Recently, Russia's nuclear energy chief had warned that if Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant was attacked, it could cause 'Chernobyl-like devastation'.President Vladimir Putin had also offered to mediate between Israel and Iran for a ceasefire, but the US rejected this proposal saying that Russia should first resolve the Ukraine conflict.Russia has also made it clear that if Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is harmed, it will have serious and chaotic consequences at the global level. The Kremlin has also warned that any such action could put the entire Middle East in crisis.Will China and Russia now openly support Iran?Now the biggest question is what will China and Russia do next after America's open military action? Will these two countries directly support Iran militarily or strategically? So far both countries have talked about restraint and diplomacy, but their tone clearly reflects strictness and anger.Experts believe that even if China and Russia do not openly go to war at the moment, they can support Iran diplomatically, economically and strategically. China is already strengthening trade and energy relations with Iran, while Iran's military partnership with Russia is deepening.
