China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN) Fu Cong stated that the United States' attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities seriously violate the UN Charter and Iran's sovereignty, saying, "Peace in the Middle East cannot be achieved through the use of force."

With the involvement of the United States in the Israel-Iran conflicts, international tensions have escalated; a reaction also came from China to the US.

"THE US ACTIONS VIOLATE IRAN'S SOVEREIGNTY"

In a speech at the UN Security Council (UNSC) following the US airstrikes on Iran, China's Permanent Representative to the UN Fu Cong said, "The bombing of nuclear facilities under the assurance of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the actions of the US, seriously violate the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and international law, as well as Iran's sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity."

Fu argued that this situation has increased tensions in the Middle East and "struck a blow" to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

"ISRAEL MUST PREVENT THE SPREAD OF WAR"

Fu expressed that the international community must show concrete efforts to restore peace and stability, calling for an immediate ceasefire.

Stating that China has deep concerns about the risk of the situation spiraling out of control, Fu said, "The parties to the conflict, especially Israel, must reach an immediate ceasefire, prevent the escalation of tensions, and decisively prevent the spread of war."

"PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST CANNOT BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THE USE OF FORCE"

Fu called for a commitment to dialogue and negotiation, stating, "Peace in the Middle East cannot be achieved through the use of force. Dialogue and negotiation are currently the fundamental way out. All means to resolve Iran's nuclear issue diplomatically have not yet been exhausted, and there is still hope for a peaceful solution."

Fu called on the parties to maintain their determination regarding a political solution to the issue and requested the UNSC to take swift action.

REMINDING OF THE DRAFT RESOLUTION

Fu reminded that Russia, China, and Pakistan proposed a draft resolution calling for "an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, the protection of civilians, respect for international law, dialogue, and negotiation," saying: "We hope that the members of the Council will jointly support this draft resolution to fulfill the Security Council's responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security and demonstrate a strong sense of responsibility."
