China has strongly condemned the U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran, calling them a violation of international law and urging an immediate halt to military operations. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning warned that the escalating conflict risks destabilizing the Middle East and harming global economic growth. The crisis has already disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route carrying roughly 20% of global oil supplies, raising fears of wider regional and economic consequences. China says it supports Iran’s sovereignty while urging all sides to avoid further escalation and return to dialogue.
