China condemns US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, calls for restraint, dialogue
Beijing – China has strongly condemned the recent U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.
In remarks from the Foreign Ministry, a spokesperson said the attacks—targeting sites under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards—violate international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter.
The spokesperson warned that such actions risk further escalating tensions in the Middle East. China urged all parties, especially Israel, to reach a ceasefire swiftly, protect civilians, and prioritize dialogue and negotiations.
China reaffirmed its commitment to working with the global community to seek justice and promote peace and stability in the region.
