China: Tehran will not surrender to pressure

Pars Today — China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, expressing Beijing’s opposition to attacks on Iran’s infrastructure, stated that Tehran will not be brought to its knees by military pressure and that such actions will only inflame tensions.

According to Pars Today, Mao Ning, spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, referred during a press briefing to Washington’s attack on a civilian bridge in Karaj and said that the military actions of the United States and Israel against Iran were carried out without authorization from the UN Security Council and are contrary to international law.

Emphasizing that China opposes attacks on infrastructure and civilian centers, she added that such actions cannot force the other side to surrender and will only increase tensions.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson stressed that under the current circumstances, the relevant parties must immediately implement a ceasefire and return to the path of political and diplomatic resolution.

Mao Ning also addressed the situation of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and the possibility of China participating in international cooperation to ensure the security of energy transportation. She said that all parties strongly hope for the swift return of peace and stability to this vital passage, as the Strait of Hormuz and its surrounding waters are among the most important routes for international trade in goods and energy.

She added that under the current circumstances, the key to resolving the issue is the immediate cessation of military operations, and only in this way can there be hope for the return of stability to West Asia and the Persian Gulf region.
