Chinese citizens flee Iran as conflict with Israel rages on
TEHRAN — Hundreds of Chinese workers, students and tourists have fled or been evacuated from Iran to neighboring countries as the conflict with Israel spirals. Masa Li, a 24-year-old Chinese citizen who has lived and worked in Tehran for the past few years, fled the city on Monday after three days of bombing. 'At night, we took turns keeping watch. There were explosions every night, lasting until two or three o'clock in the morning,' she said, adding that she saw several strikes hitting the city from where she lived. On the final day, Li decided to flee with nine colleagues and friends. It took them more than 30 hours to reach a border crossing in Armenia — a drive stalled by repeated car breakdowns and frequent stops for questioning and phone checks by police and military officers. 'I didn't expect this to really happen,' Li told CNN from the Armenian capital of Yerevan. 'There were two minor flare-ups last year, but I didn't expect things to escalate so quickly this time.' Many Chinese in Iran work for Chinese companies that have invested in the oil-rich country. China has for years been Iran's largest trading partner and the biggest buyer of Iranian oil. The Middle Eastern nation is an enthusiastic supporter of Beijing's 'Belt and Road Initiative,' a global infrastructure and investment drive. The Chinese Embassy started evacuating Chinese citizens from Tehran on Tuesday, according to state media. China's Foreign Ministry said Thursday that more than 1,600 Chinese nationals had been relocated from Iran, while several hundred Chinese citizens had been evacuated from Israel. China, a key diplomatic and economic backer of Iran, has condemned Israel for violating Iran's sovereignty and escalating tensions in the Middle East by launching the attack. It has urged both sides to de-escalate tensions and offered to play a 'constructive role' in resolving the conflict. — CNN

Iran slams US nuclear proposal, says it will continue to enrich uranium
TEHRAN — Iran's supreme leader has denounced a proposal by the United States aimed at curbing Tehran's nuclear efforts and demanded that his country retains independence amid reports of Washington offering to become involved in Tehran's nuclear program. Despite several rounds of talks between the two sides to thrash out a new nuclear deal major sticking points remain, with Iran insisting on its right to nuclear enrichment. 'The first word of the US is that Iran should not have a nuclear industry and should rely on the United States,' Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told a crowd gathered in Tehran to commemorate the death of Imam Khomeini, the founder of Iran's Islamic Republic. 'Our response to the US' nonsense is clear: they cannot do a damn thing in this matter,' he said. The US sent a nuclear deal proposal to Iran on Saturday. CNN has learned this suggests the US could invest in Iran's civilian nuclear power program and join a consortium that would oversee the enrichment of low-level uranium inside Iran for an unspecified amount of time. That potential consortium would be expected to include Middle Eastern nations and the UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency. Khamenei said Wednesday that Iran is refusing to allow the United States to give a 'green or red light' with its nuclear program and stressed on 'national independence.'A senior Iranian official told CNN on Monday that the US proposal is 'incoherent and disjointed, very unrealistic, and with excessive demands.'US President Donald Trump said on Monday, seemingly contrary to what was proposed to Iran, that the deal will not allow uranium enrichment.'Under our potential Agreement — WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM,' Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social supreme leader added on Wednesday that his country has been 'able to achieve a complete nuclear energy cycle,' a feat only achieved by a few countries.'Uranium enrichment is an essential part of the Islamic Republic's nuclear program, and we will not abandon it,' Khamenei and the US concluded a fifth round of high-stakes nuclear talks in Rome on May 23 amid growing skepticism in Tehran about the chances of a deal. After that round of discussions, the two sides 'agreed to meet again in the near future,' a senior US administration official said at the time. — CNN
