China's top nuclear envoy delivered a fiery rebuke to the U.S. at an emergency International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) meeting Monday, calling Washington's military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities "egregious and unprecedented."
🔥 The Condemnation
Li Song, China's permanent representative to the IAEA, accused the U.S. of violating international law and escalating Middle East tensions. "How can a UN Security Council permanent member attack facilities under IAEA safeguards?" Li questioned, comparing the move to "bringing a flamethrower to a diplomacy party."
🌐 Call for Cooler Heads
Li urged global powers to prioritize dialogue over drones, stressing: "Negotiation is the only way to avoid a real-life _Oppenheimer_ scenario." He specifically called on Israel to cease fire and protect civilians, while pushing the U.S. to "stop playing Call of Duty with real nukes."
⚛️ Nuclear Safety First
China pledged support for IAEA-led solutions, emphasizing the need to keep Middle East tensions from going viral like a TikTok trend. Will this diplomatic push lead to de-escalation? The world watches as the IAEA becomes the ultimate group chat for nuclear peace.
