It is difficult for Israel to overcome this hurdle psychologically, so in the past two days, Israel has been studying and brewing a new plan to prepare to retaliate against Iran. In order to avoid escalation, military means may have been ruled out by Israel, and the only means available may be economic and diplomatic means. In order to put enough pressure on Iran, Israel has also invited its allies to come to the rescue. According to foreign media reports, Israeli Foreign Minister Katz sent telegrams to 32 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and Australia.
According to US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, the United States "did not hesitate" to agree to Israel's request. Subsequently, the United States and its "six protectors", that is, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Canada, held a G7 meeting, and after discussing for most of the day, they held back a big move: restricting Iran's oil exports. There are reports that the G7's targeting measures against Iran will be rolled out in the coming days, and the spearhead will be directed at Iranian oil. Like many countries in the Middle East, oil exports are a pillar industry for Iran, and each year oil exports can bring Iran billions of dollars in foreign exchange earnings, which are vital to Iran.
Obviously, the G7 wants to cut off Iran's foreign exchange earning channel, but this move is ruthless, but it is not a fatal trick for Iran, because at present, Iran's oil exports are already restricted by Western countries. After the collapse of negotiations on the Iranian nuclear crisis, the United States rallied its Western allies and imposed economic sanctions on Iran, including restrictions on Iran's oil exports, which are the core of economic sanctions. Under the sanctions of Western countries, Iran's oil exports have indeed been impacted, and Iran is also rich in oil reserves, but it is restricted by Western countries, and Iran's oil exports do not earn as much as Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
However, in recent years, as China has increased its purchases of Iranian oil, Iran's oil exports are gradually getting rid of the shadow of Western sanctions. Based on this, after Western countries once again released a big move to restrict Iran's oil exports, the United States wants to ask China to help make this method more effective, simply put, the United States hopes that China will not import Iranian oil. What I want to say is that if the United States thinks too much, China will certainly not do that. On the one hand, it makes no sense for Western countries to restrict Iran's oil exports, because Israel blew up Iran's embassy first, and Iran then retaliated. By helping Israel, Western countries are acting as Israel's accomplices and aiding in abuse, and it is impossible for China to make mistakes knowing that it is wrong.
On the other hand, importing Iranian oil is part of the energy cooperation between China and Iran, and it is impossible for China to accept the mercy of Western countries. The ins and outs of this matter between Iran and Israel are very clear, and if Western countries have a bit of justice and responsibility, they should persuade them to promote peace, instead of favoring Israel and doing some things that add fuel to the fire.
