China strongly condemns the U.S. attacks on Iran and bombing of nuclear facilities under the safeguards of the IAEA. The actions of the U.S. seriously violate the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and international law, and have exacerbated tensions in the Middle East. China calls on the parties to the conflict, Israel in particular, to reach a ceasefire as soon as possible, ensure the safety of civilians, and start dialogue and negotiation. China stands ready to work with the international community to pool efforts together and uphold justice, and work for restoring peace and stability in the Middle East.
Beijing has “strongly condemned” the US attack on Iran, noting its nuclear facilities were under the safeguards of the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency.
“The actions of the US seriously violate the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and international law, and have exacerbated tensions in the Middle East,” China’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
“China calls on the parties to the conflict, Israel in particular, to reach a ceasefire as soon as possible, ensure the safety of civilians, and start dialogue and negotiation.”
In a brief statement on Sunday night, the Chinese foreign ministry said the bombing of the facilities, which were under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency, seriously violated the United Nations Charter and its principles.
It called on all parties, especially Israel, to cease fire as soon as possible, ensure the safety of civilians and start dialogue.
“China is willing to work with the international community to uphold justice and restore peace and stability in the Middle East,” the ministry said.
The call came hours after US President Donald Trump announced that the US military had conducted the bombings, calling the strikes a “spectacular military success” and pledging more attacks if Tehran did not stand down.
The actions of the United States seriously violated the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and international law, and have exacerbated tensions in the Middle East, the spokesperson said.

Russia’s Medvedev criticises Trump for starting ‘new war’
Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, says the “absolute majority” of nations are against “the actions of Israel and the United States”.
“Trump, who came as a peacemaker president, started a new war for the US,” he said on his Telegram channel after Washington’s strikes on Iran.
“The United States is drawn into a new conflict with the prospect of a ground operation. With this kind of success, Trump won’t win the Nobel Peace Prize.”
Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministers of the UK, France, Italy, UAE, Qatar, none of their statements condemned the US attack, instead they were merely symbolic statements. And that clarifies their position as US stooges.
