China Condemns Israel's Assassination of Top Iranian Officials, Netanyahu Issues Open Challenge

Beijing: The ongoing war in West Asia has taken a bloody turn. Israel's assassination of three top Iranian officials, including Ali Larijani, has sent shockwaves around the world. China has issued its first and strongest reaction to the incident. China's Foreign Ministry has condemned Israel's action in the strongest terms, calling it a violation of international norms and "unacceptable." Netanyahu's open challenge: "No sanction needed." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has shocked the world by sharing a video of the high-security Kirya command center. The video shows him sitting with Mossad and Air Force chiefs and ordering the elimination of Iranian "terrorist warlords" - Ali Larijani and Gholamreza Soleimani. Defense Minister Israel Katz has also made it clear that the IDF will no longer need China's permission to directly enter the war to eliminate any senior Iranian official.
