China has condemned a deadly strike on Iran's consulate in Syria, which Tehran blamed on Israel. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Wang Wenbin, emphasized the importance of upholding the security of diplomatic institutions and respecting Syria's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity.
Wang Wenbin stated, 'The current situation in the Middle East is turbulent, and we oppose any actions that lead to an escalation of tension.' This condemnation comes in the wake of Iran's vow to retaliate following the bombing, marking a significant escalation in regional tensions.
The attack on Iran's consulate in Syria has heightened concerns over the ongoing conflict in Gaza and raised fears of a broader Middle Eastern conflict. China's stance underscores the need for all parties to exercise restraint and work towards de-escalation in the region.
