China has voiced strong opposition to further escalation between Iran and Israel, and warned that deepening the conflict benefits no one.
China expressed “deep concern” on Wednesday over the intensifying hostilities between Israel and Iran, calling on all parties to avoid expanding the conflict. Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun emphasized that China opposes actions that violate the United Nations Charter, including threats to sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Responding to a social media post by U.S. President Donald Trump—who warned Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was a visible target but “safe for now”—Guo urged all sides to de-escalate.
Guo stated that countries with significant influence over Israel should adopt “an objective and just position” and help prevent a wider tension.
