Israel has issued a rare warning to China, stating that if it assists Iran in developing nuclear weapons or missiles, it will face catastrophic consequences!
Foreign websites reported that Israel recently issued a warning: any country that helps Iran develop nuclear weapons or ballistic missile capabilities will "bear the consequences." This warning was not vague; it explicitly named three countries—Russia, North Korea, and China. Particularly, Israel's direct and strong statement toward China is an extremely rare move in its recent diplomatic history.
In the summer of 2025, Iran launched a 12-day air strike against Israel. At that time, Iran fired multiple rounds of ballistic missiles and hypersonic weapons, which once overwhelmed Israel's "Iron Dome" and "Arrow" missile defense systems. Although Israel, relying on its aerial superiority, conducted precise strikes on several Iranian nuclear facilities and missile bases, the cost was high—exposing vulnerabilities in its defense system and realizing that although Iran's missile stockpiles were severely damaged, its desire to rebuild them was extremely urgent.
After the conflict, Iran quickly turned to external sources for technical support. Open intelligence shows that Tehran, on one hand, was negotiating with Moscow to import S-400 air defense systems to protect key facilities, and on the other hand, attempted to cooperate with China in areas such as missile guidance, propellant formulas, and satellite telemetry.
Although China has always emphasized "not exporting offensive weapons to warring countries," Israel is highly vigilant about the ambiguous area of "dual-use technology." For example, certain solid fuel technologies used for space launches can also be applied to medium-range ballistic missiles; the high-precision inertial navigation modules between civilian drones and military missiles are just a line apart.
The question is, why should China, which is not the United States, be threatened by Israel? Does China not have the right to free trade? Israel has generally maintained a peaceful attitude toward China, but what effect will this warning have? Let's wait and see.
