"China opposes any military strikes launched by Israel and the US against Iran. China calls for an immediate cessation of military operations to prevent the further escalation and loss of control of the conflict. Force cannot truly solve problems; instead, it will bring new problems and serious long-term consequences."
"Lavrov told a news conference that the logical consequence of the US and Israel's actions could be that forces will emerge in Iran in favour of doing exactly what the Americans want to avoid: acquiring a nuclear bomb."
"Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi told his Israeli counterpart, Gideon Saar, on Tuesday that the attack on Iran came as negotiations between Washington and Tehran had made significant progress, including addressing Israel's security concerns."
China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi called Israeli counterpart Gideon Saar to oppose military strikes against Iran, stating that attacks interrupted significant diplomatic progress between Washington and Tehran. Wang emphasized that force cannot solve problems and will create serious long-term consequences, urging immediate cessation of military operations to prevent conflict escalation. He secured Israeli agreement to protect Chinese personnel and institutions in Iran. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov similarly criticized US and Israeli actions, asserting no evidence exists of Iranian nuclear weapons development. Lavrov warned that military strikes could paradoxically produce the outcome the US seeks to prevent: nuclear proliferation in Iran, as such actions may strengthen pro-nuclear factions within the country.
