China has condemned the U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear sites, warning it has undermined Washington’s credibility and risks triggering a broader regional crisis.
China said the United States’ attack on Iranian nuclear facilities has damaged Washington's credibility and raised fears that the situation "may go out of control," according to a report by state broadcaster CCTV. The remarks came after an emergency UN Security Council meeting on Sunday.
President Donald Trump earlier declared that the U.S. had "obliterated" key Iranian nuclear sites, calling the operation the most significant Western military action against Iran since the 1979 revolution. The strikes were carried out in coordination with Israel.
During the Security Council session, China joined Russia and Pakistan in proposing a resolution calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in the Middle East.
China’s UN Ambassador Fu Cong urged all parties to "restrain the impulse of force" and warned against "exacerbating conflicts and adding fuel to the fire." Fu specifically called on Israel to halt military actions to prevent further escalation and regional spillover.
Fu added that although Iran had suffered in the strikes, the U.S. had also harmed its own standing. "The United States' credibility was also damaged, both as a country and as a participant in any international negotiations," he said.
In a strongly worded commentary, China’s state-run Global Times called the U.S. operation "extremely dangerous and provocative", warning that foreign military involvement would only intensify regional hatred and suffering.
Meanwhile, China’s embassy in Tehran announced that most of its citizens in Iran had been safely evacuated. It added that the remaining individuals were not located in high-risk areas.
The United States has called on China to use its influence to dissuade Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz, warning that such a move would trigger severe global economic fallout and risk major escalation following U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
