BEIJING (Reuters) -China has issued advisories to its citizens in Israel and Iran of the "complex and severe" security situation in those countries on Friday, adding a warning to those in Israel to prepare for possible missile and drone attacks.
The Chinese embassy in Israel told citizens there to strengthen their security precautions, avoid going out unnecessarily or to areas surrounding military units and sensitive institutions as the "security situation on the ground is complex and severe".
"Stay calm, be vigilant," a notice on its WeChat account said, cautioning citizens to be prepared to guard against missiles, rockets, drones and other attacks.
In a separate notice, the Chinese embassy in Iran also advised citizens and enterprises based there to pay close attention to developments and enhance their security awareness and precautions, asking citizens to avoid sensitive sites and crowded places.
Israel on Friday said it targeted Iran's nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and military commanders at the start of what it warned would be a prolonged operation to prevent Tehran from building an atomic weapon.

Trump: sanctions stay, but Iran may receive funds to rebuild

BY Libyan Express Jun 26, 2025 - 07:05 Trump signals potential easing in Iran oil sanctions enforcement President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that the United States continues to uphold its maximum pressure campaign on Iran, including restrictions on Iranian oil exports. However, he indicated that enforcement of these measures might be eased to assist Iran's reconstruction efforts. Speaking at a NATO Summit press conference, Trump noted that Iran would require financial resources to rebuild the country and expressed support for such efforts. When asked about relaxing oil sanctions, he said, 'They're going to need money to put that country back into shape. We want to see that happen.' The day before, Trump mentioned that China could continue purchasing Iranian oil following a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran. The White House later clarified that this statement did not represent a formal easing of US sanctions. The Trump administration has imposed sanctions on several Chinese independent refineries and port operators for their involvement in Iranian oil purchases as part of its ongoing pressure campaign against Tehran.
