China is reexamining its investments in Iran following the escalation .
Two senior Chinese scholars, Niu Xinchun and Zou Zhiqiang, have warned that the escalation of Israeli attacks on Iranian infrastructure is endangering China's economic interests in the country. According to them, the damage to civilian sites such as ports, energy facilities and industrial sites creates an immediate need to evacuate civilians and reassess the course of economic cooperation.
So far, about 1,600 Chinese citizens have been evacuated from Iran, at the initiative of the Chinese Embassy in Tehran. According to estimates, there are currently between a few thousand and 10,000 Chinese citizens in Iran, most of them businessmen, technicians, engineers and project workers in the fields of energy, infrastructure and technology, mainly in Tehran, Isfahan, Bandar Abbas and the island of Kish.
Despite a 25-year, wide-ranging strategic cooperation agreement signed between China and Iran in 2021, it appears that the economic potential of the agreement has not yet been realized, mainly due to Chinese fears of secondary sanctions from the US.
In 2024, the volume of bilateral trade was $13.37 billion. Of this, $8.93 billion was in Chinese exports and $4.44 billion was in imports from Iran. However, China's direct investment in Iran amounted to only $322 million, with the cumulative investment by the end of 2023 standing at only about $3.92 billion, a small amount relative to the scope of the agreements between the countries.
In conclusion, they emphasized that “only an agreement between Iran and the US can lead to the lifting of sanctions, otherwise, cooperation will continue to diminish. China will have to reconsider which projects to continue, which to preserve and which to abandon.”

By “talk” —. Do they mean refusing to agree to end the war and end their pursuit of nuke weapons ?????
So it seems to me that the Iran regime wants the world to believe that they only wanted nukes to make electricity and not bombs.
To which the world responded with laughter since clearly that has never been nor ever will be the intent of the “current” regime.

Iranian Foreign Minister: As long as the aggression and invasion do not stop, there is no meaning to talk about dialogue with America
The IRNA news agency quotes Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi as saying: "We have made it clear unequivocally that there is no room for dialogue until the aggression stops, and we have no dialogue with America as a partner in this crime."
According to the report, since the start of the war, the Iranian Foreign Ministry has held frequent contacts with foreign ministers of about 30 countries. The Iranian president has also spoken with several heads of state. "I spoke with the UN Secretary-General and requested an emergency meeting of the Security Council and sent him a letter - as a result, the meeting took place last week. And this week, at the request of China, Russia, Pakistan and Algeria, a group of Security Council members will convene," Araqchi said.
He said that an emergency meeting or discussion on the issue of the attack on Iran will be held on Saturday at the meeting of foreign ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (in Turkey).
"To those senior officials in various countries who, for good reasons, call for a return to diplomacy, I say – we were already in the midst of talks. Where exactly do you suggest we return to?" Araqchi added.

Dude, easy on the emojis.

This development to some degree offsets the misguided policy of this administration respecting Ukraine that has almost certainly undermined our credibility with those Pacific rim allies.
Equally, it is refreshing to see China abandoning Iran, an ally or an ally of convenience, during Iran's hour of need which almost certainly weakens China's credibility with a range of allies of convenience wherever China has insinuated its presence around the world..
It’s a blog post

IDF Spokesperson:
“Barak” system, used for the first time in the Air Force’s air defense system, intercepted an unmanned aerial vehicle
Earlier today (Friday), the “Barak” system of the Air Force’s air defense system intercepted an unmanned aerial vehicle that crossed into Israeli territory.
The “Barak” system was developed in Israel to protect against aerial threats.
The Air Force will continue to operate to intercept targets that threaten the skies of the State of Israel and the maintenance of air superiority in the region.
I would say this is what beating up all the “bullies” at the playground gets you.
The respect of all the bully victims in the entire neighborhood!

BREAKING Friday 20 June 2025 - China finally “re-examines” the fiscal implications of doing business with Iran
The real headline in the posted article link is as follows:
China is reexamining its investments in Iran following the escalation
??? A bit sensitive today are we?
It’s a blog post with my own translation —.
Relax my FRiend
NP. Everything’s cool.
Unless this has changed Free Republic headlines are supposed to match the headline in the posted link. At least that is how it has always been.
Since it was a “blog” post the headline is my own. I appropriately sourced my info but the blog is my commentary/ creative translation of the given data.
Agreed ?
No. But then maybe rules are different with blogs? Don’t know.
Long shot but do you know if the Canadian prepper dude is a FReeper by any chance?
