China urges Iran, 'Israel' to 'immediately' take steps to cool tensions
China urged Iran and 'Israel' to "immediately" take steps to reduce tensions on Monday after Tehran unleashed a barrage of missile strikes on 'Israel' and the latter struck military targets deep inside Iran. "We urge all parties to immediately take measures to cool down the tensions, prevent the region from falling into greater turmoil, and create conditions for returning to the right track of resolving issues through dialogue and negotiations," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said. 'Israel's' surprise assault on Iran last week, launched after decades of enmity and a prolonged shadow war fought through proxies and covert operations, has touched off the most intense fighting yet and triggered fears of a lengthy conflict that could engulf the Middle East. 'Israel' says its attacks have hit military and nuclear facilities and killed many top Iranian commanders and atomic scientists, although a senior US official said on Sunday that US President Donald Trump told 'Israel' to back down from a plan to kill supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. China's top diplomat Wang Yi held phone calls with his 'Israeli' and Iranian counterparts on Saturday, the foreign ministry said, in which he made clear to both Beijing's support for Tehran. China enjoys close ties with Iran, being its largest commercial partner and the main buyer of its oil with Tehran still under crushing US sanctions. Guo said on Monday "all relevant parties should immediately take steps to put the brakes on the escalation and to cool down the tensions". "Force cannot bring lasting peace," he said.

Iron Dome malfunctions as Iran uses 'new methods' in deadly missile strike
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility Monday for a powerful overnight missile barrage that reportedly caused 'Israel's' Iron Dome and other layered air defense systems to malfunction — forcing them to intercept their own missiles. According to the IRGC, newly developed tactics and enhanced equipment overwhelmed 'Israeli' defenses in what was described as the eighth and most devastating wave of retaliation since hostilities began on Friday. "The enemy's multi-layered defense systems were disrupted in such a way that the regime's defense systems targeted each other," the IRGC said. It added that Iran's advances in intelligence and targeting technology allowed its missiles to bypass Israeli and Western-backed systems, striking intended targets with 'maximum effect.' Iran said the operation fulfilled promises made by fallen military commanders and proved that 'the calculations and assessments of the Zionist enemy and the Americans against Islamic Iran were completely wrong.' The IRGC vowed to continue 'effective, targeted and more devastating' strikes until the 'complete destruction' of what it called the 'fake regime.' The overnight strikes killed and wounded dozens. In 'Israel', at least eight people were reported dead, including three in the northern city of Haifa, after explosions rocked the area around an oil refinery, setting infrastructure on fire. Four others were killed in Petah Tikva and one in Bnei Brak, bringing Israel's death toll to 23 since Friday, according to the Prime Minister's Office. 'Israel's' response included a drone strike in Tehran on Sunday, which hit a student dormitory on Keshavarz Boulevard and injured at least 20 people, according to Iranian state TV. One of the Iranian Foreign Ministry's buildings was also damaged, according to the country's deputy foreign minister. Iran's health ministry reported that at least 224 people have been killed in the country since the 'Israeli' strikes began, including top IRGC commanders and nuclear scientists.
