Israel’s attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities a ‘dangerous precedent’: China’s UN envoy
Fu Cong, speaking at the UN Security Council earlier, said that Israel should “cease fire as soon as possible” to prevent the situation from escalating.
Cong said Israel’s attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities set a “dangerous precedent” that could have “catastrophic consequences”. He said the nuclear issue must be returned “to the track of dialogue and negotiation”.
‘A war to preserve Israel’s nuclear monopoly in Middle East’
Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons, but the US and its allies in the West paint it as the biggest threat to the region. Meanwhile, they fully support Israel, the only country in the Middle East with nuclear weapons, as it carries out a genocide in Gaza and attacks Iran.
US intelligence assessment on Iran nuclear programme ‘sound’
As we’ve just reported, Trump has dismissed the conclusion of his own national intelligence chief, who said in April that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon.
Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, explained that Tulsi Gabbard, the US director of national intelligence, who issued the determination on Iran, “does not speak for herself” or her team alone.
“She speaks for all the intelligence agencies combined,” Bishara stressed. “This intelligence is supposed to be sound. This is not just one person or one team saying something. It’s the entire intelligence community in the United States. He [Trump] would dismiss them? For what?
“For a lie by a rogue element called Benjamin Netanyahu, who has lied all his life, a con artist who is indicted for his crimes in Gaza? It’s just astounding.”
Not that surprising since Trump is a con artist as well, a convicted felon on 34 charges.

Netanyahu is on trial for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust by him and close political allies within his inner circle during his fourth and fifth terms as Israel's prime minister.
