BEIJING: China has called on Iran, the United States, and Israel to resolve their differences through political and diplomatic channels, urging restraint amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East.
A spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that at a critical stage of US-Iran talks, it is essential to avoid any actions that could escalate military confrontation.
Call for Restraint in the Region
The Chinese Foreign Ministry stated that the ongoing tensions involving the US, Israel, and Iran over the past three months have significantly affected Gulf countries and the broader Middle East.
It emphasized that disputes and conflicts cannot be resolved through military force or coercion.
Warning Against Military Escalation
According to the spokesperson, any attempt to escalate military tensions during sensitive negotiations between the US and Iran should be avoided.
China warned that further conflict would only deepen instability in an already volatile region and complicate diplomatic efforts.
Emphasis on Diplomatic Solutions
Beijing reiterated that all parties should exercise restraint and avoid hostile actions that could worsen the situation.
“Differences and disputes should be resolved through political and diplomatic means,” the ministry spokesperson said.
China added that dialogue remains the only viable path toward long-term stability and peace in the region.
Broader Diplomatic Position
China has consistently advocated for peaceful resolution of international conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, where geopolitical tensions have remained high.
It has previously called for increased dialogue among regional and global powers and has supported efforts aimed at reducing tensions through negotiation rather than confrontation.
Ongoing Regional Tensions
The statement comes amid continued uncertainty surrounding US-Iran relations and broader regional dynamics involving Israel and neighboring countries.
With diplomatic negotiations reportedly at a sensitive stage, international actors including China are increasingly urging caution to prevent further escalation.
Beijing’s remarks reflect growing global concern over the potential for expanded conflict and underscore the importance of sustained diplomatic engagement.
