US Bombing Intensifies Tensions in West Asia, Questions Arise on Effectiveness

The recent US bombing on Iranian nuclear sites has escalated tensions in West Asia. While officially termed successful, Chinese experts question its effectiveness, highlighting that Iran's underground facilities may not be easily destroyed. China's media criticizes the strikes as reckless and a breach of international law.

Escalating tensions in West Asia, the United States conducted bombing raids on Iran's nuclear sites, namely Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz. The US President has labeled the mission a 'very successful' attack on Iran's nuclear program.

Chinese state media swiftly criticized the US actions, calling them a reckless escalation and a breach of international law. These airstrikes, they argue, endanger the rules-based international order.

Experts remain skeptical about the operation's success, suggesting the powerful bunker-buster bombs may not penetrate Iran's deeply buried nuclear facilities completely. The incidents underscore the fragile geopolitical climate and highlight international concerns.
