Help us, China! Iran threatens oil export ban if Israeli strikes continue

Ali Larijani, senior advisor to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, threatened today (Sunday) that if Iran's oil facilities are seriously damaged in Israeli strikes, "no-one will be allowed to use our oil," according to Iran International.

The message appears aimed directly at China, who buys and processes most of Iran's oil, despite heavy western sanctions. Thus far, both Russia and China have condemned Israel for Operation Rising Lion but have not taken additional open steps to try and force Israel into a ceasefire before the operation is over.
