In a decisive move, China has evacuated more than 1,600 of its citizens from Iran and several hundred from Israel amid intensifying hostilities between the two nations, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson announced.

The response comes after a series of violent escalations, including Israel's strike on an Iranian nuclear site, met with retaliatory Iranian missile attacks on an Israeli hospital.

China's Ministry urged immediate steps to ease tensions, emphasizing the crucial need for dialogue and caution. Borders remain crowded, with many Chinese nationals advised to exit through land routes as the situation persists.
