Escalating Tensions: China Critiques U.S. Strike on Iran

China expressed concern over the U.S. military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, accusing Washington of damaging its credibility. During a U.N. Security Council meeting, China called for restraint among involved parties to prevent further escalation. China's diplomatic actions included evacuating citizens from Iran and Israel.

In a recent U.N. Security Council meeting, China voiced strong criticism of the United States' military strike on Iran's nuclear sites, as reported by state broadcaster CCTV. China emphasized that U.S. actions have compromised its credibility globally.

President Donald Trump confirmed that the strikes had heavily targeted Tehran's main nuclear facilities. In response, China urged involved nations, particularly Israel, to refrain from using force, warning that the situation could spiral out of control.

Alongside the diplomatic fallout, China's foreign ministry successfully evacuated over 3,000 citizens from Iran, including residents from Hong Kong and Taiwan, ensuring their safety amid rising tensions.
