In the early hours of June 13, Israel’s F-35 fighter jets took off quietly, with B-2 stealth bombers flying in formation at high altitudes. Tomahawk missiles were launched from the sea in rapid succession, targeting Iran’s critical infrastructure—nuclear facilities, radar stations, underground command posts, and air defense nodes. For 72 hours, Iran’s military capabilities collapsed, and its command centers became paralyzed. The entire Middle East waited for Beijing’s response, but Beijing remained silent.
The Foreign Ministry issued its usual scripted response: “China is deeply concerned” and “opposes violations of Iran’s sovereignty.” Xinhua quietly relayed the message, without strength or impact. On June 14, Wang Yi spoke with the Iranian foreign minister, using the phrase “clearly condemn,” which sounded like an attempt to show support. But less than 24 hours later, Wang Yi spoke with Israel’s foreign minister, and his tone softened dramatically. He merely said “opposes the use of force” and didn’t dare to utter the word “condemn.”
