Iran's air strikes against Israel have exposed many "facts": First, Israel's two major "myths" have been shattered, the Israeli army's two air bases in the Negev and Navatim have been confirmed to have been attacked by missiles, and an army base has also been hit by missiles, and the "Iron Dome" defense system is not airtight, combined with the failure of the "Mossad" intelligence system during the Hamas attack, Israel's "invincible golden body" Second, in the face of Iran's more than 300 unmanned aerial vehicles and 150 missiles, the US military only intercepted more than 100 drones and missiles on the premise of preparing in advance, with an interception rate of only 30 percent, and the "myth" of the US military has also been shattered; third, Iran's seven hypersonic missiles have all hit the target, highlighting Iran's strong military strength, which is the root cause of US President Biden's urgent call to Israel to stop retaliating against Iran.
Although Iran claims that the attack on Israel is "over" and Israel has said that it will not retaliate against Iran, the struggle between the two countries will not stop there, and there is a high probability that the battlefield will be changed. The Golan Heights in Syria is also Iran's strategic focus, and if Israel loses control over the place, it will not only lose its strategic commanding heights, but also lose its important water sources.
The second is the Red Sea, under the control of the Houthis, it is difficult for Israeli and Western cargo ships to step into the Red Sea half a step, and Israel's logistical support is difficult to supply, while the Strait of Hormuz is in the hands of Iran, and Iran's recent seizure of Israeli cargo ships indicates the direction of the next step of action, and if Iran attacks in the Red Sea, Israel will not sit idly by; and finally, the Gaza Strip, especially the Israeli army's military action against Rafah, will trigger fierce opposition from many Middle Eastern countries, including Iran and Egypt.
At a time when the dust is still unsettled in the Middle East, Foreign Minister Wang Yi received a phone call from Iran, in which Iranian Foreign Minister Abdollahian informed him of the reasons for the attack on Israel, expressed his position to avoid escalation of the situation, and advocated an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Wang Yi also had a telephone conversation with Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal, during which the two sides reached consensus on resolving differences through dialogue and maintaining peace and stability in the Middle East. Iran and Saudi Arabia are representatives of Shiites and Sunnis in the Middle East, and in the context of China's promotion of Saudi-Iranian reconciliation, China has a high influence on the situation in the Middle East, and China's action is of great significance to de-escalating the situation.
At present, the situation in the Middle East has changed, and the spillover of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has become a real event, which is not only detrimental to the peaceful development of all countries in the region, but also an even greater disaster for the innocent people in the Middle East. In this case, the US side added fuel to the fire of the situation in the Middle East by launching a missile, while China, in line with the principle of peace talks, campaigned for humanitarianism and de-escalated the situation through diplomatic mediation, demonstrating its responsibility as a responsible major country, which is also the source of China's prestige in the Middle East. China's position has been made clear, and China will not sit idly by and watch any attempt to escalate the situation in the Middle East.
