China's top diplomat at the United Nations has issued a sharp warning as tensions between Israel and Iran cool following a fragile ceasefire. 🚨 Fu Cong, Beijing's permanent representative to the UN, declared "no more deceptions this time" during a press briefing ahead of a Security Council meeting in New York.
The ceasefire took effect Tuesday after both nations exchanged missile strikes, with civilians finally breathing easier as airspace restrictions lifted. ✈️ No new attacks have been reported since the truce began, ending 12 days of escalating violence.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres echoed calls for restraint, posting on X: "The people of the two countries have already suffered too much." He urged expanding the ceasefire across the region—a sentiment China strongly supports. 🤝
While diplomats work behind the scenes, all eyes remain on whether this pause in fighting can become lasting peace. 🔍 As Fu bluntly put it: "All parties must faithfully abide by what's been agreed."
