China’s UN Ambassador Fu Cong strongly condemned Israel’s recent strikes on Iran, calling them serious violations of Iran’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity. Speaking at a UN Security Council meeting on the Middle East situation, Fu urged Israel to immediately stop all risky military actions to prevent further escalation. He emphasized that such actions threaten regional stability and peace.
Fu expressed China’s deep concern over the rising tensions and warned that Israel’s attacks could intensify conflicts and harm ongoing diplomatic efforts. He highlighted that the strikes could negatively impact critical negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program, which remain fragile. China continues to support peaceful dialogue and urges restraint from all sides to avoid further deterioration.
On Friday, Israel launched large-scale airstrikes targeting Iranian sites, claiming it aimed to halt Iran’s nuclear weapon development. In retaliation, Iran conducted missile strikes on Israeli cities, including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, where explosions were reported late Friday night. The exchange has raised fears of a broader conflict in the region.
In response to the worsening security situation, China has issued travel advisories for its citizens in both Israel and Iran. It described the situation as “complex and severe,” advising caution and preparation for potential missile and drone attacks, especially in Israel. China also called on all countries to protect their nationals and ensure safety during this volatile period.
As global concern grows, China stresses the urgent need for all parties to avoid further escalation. It calls for renewed diplomatic efforts and peaceful negotiations to resolve the crisis. The international community continues to monitor developments closely, hoping for de-escalation and stability in the Middle East.
