China has taken a firm stance at the United Nations, condemning Israel's recent military actions against Iran as a violation of sovereignty and calling for immediate de-escalation. 🌐 During an emergency UN Security Council meeting on Friday, Chinese Ambassador Fu Cong warned that further conflict risks destabilizing the Middle East and undermining global security.
Dialogue Over Destruction
Ambassador Fu emphasized that escalating tensions 'serves no party's interests,' urging Israel to stop risky military moves. 💥 He stressed adherence to the UN Charter and international law, advocating for political solutions instead of armed attacks. 'Resolving disputes through diplomacy isn’t just ideal—it’s essential,' he stated.
Nuclear Negotiations at Risk
Fu also expressed concern about how the strikes could derail talks on Iran’s nuclear program. ☢️ China reaffirmed its support for Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear energy under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), opposing unilateral sanctions or force. 'Dialogue, not destruction, builds lasting peace,' he added.
What’s Next?
With global powers divided on the issue, China’s call for restraint adds pressure for cooler heads to prevail. 🤝 Will diplomacy win out? The world watches as tensions simmer.
