China has issued a strong rebuke of Israel's military actions against Iran during an emergency UN Security Council session, calling for immediate de-escalation in one of the Middle East's most volatile flashpoints. Ambassador Fu Cong emphasized Beijing's position that "Israel's violation of Iran's sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity risks destabilizing the entire region."
Key Diplomatic Points
Fu urged all parties to adhere to the UN Charter, stating that recent developments threaten progress on the Iranian nuclear negotiations. China reaffirmed its stance against unilateral sanctions and attacks on peaceful nuclear facilities, while acknowledging Iran's right to peaceful nuclear energy under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Regional Stability at Risk
The envoy warned that escalating tensions "serve no party's interests," particularly as global markets remain sensitive to Middle Eastern instability. Analysts suggest China's intervention reflects growing concerns about spillover effects on Asian energy security and international trade routes.
Path Forward
Beijing continues advocating for dialogue-based solutions, positioning itself as a stabilizing force in multilateral diplomacy. The statement comes amid heightened scrutiny of major powers' roles in mediating Middle Eastern conflicts.
