China calls on Iran and Israel to de-escalate tensions immediately
China has called on Iran and Israel to immediately take steps to reduce rising tensions after a deadly exchange of missile strikes. The warning came after Tehran launched a barrage of missiles and drones toward Israel over the weekend. In response, Israel carried out airstrikes on key military sites deep inside Iran. The growing conflict has sparked international concern.
press briefing in Beijing addressed the issue during a press briefing in Beijing on Monday. He said China is deeply worried about the situation in the Middle East. He called on all involved countries to act with restraint. Guo urged both sides to avoid further conflict and military actions.
The spokesman stressed that the region is already facing instability and humanitarian crises. Further fighting may lead to a larger war, he warned. China called for immediate steps to stop the violence. It believes the only real solution is peaceful dialogue and political negotiations. Guo added that returning to the path of diplomacy is crucial for all parties.
This message from China follows recent efforts by other global powers, like the United Nations and European Union, to reduce tensions. Many fear that the Iran-Israel conflict could grow into a regional war, involving more countries in the Middle East. China has strong ties with both nations and often plays a balancing role in global diplomacy.
China is urging both Iran and Israel to stop further attacks and open the door to peace talks. It wants all sides to act responsibly and think of the people suffering from war. As tensions rise, China hopes its message will push the region back toward stability and avoid more bloodshed.
