China Strongly Condemns US Attacks on Iranian Nuclear Facilities and Urges Israel for Swift Ceasefire
Over the past weekend, the United States attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran.
The US explained that the purpose of these attacks was to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
However, Iran has repeatedly claimed that it has no intention of developing nuclear arms.
In response, the Chinese government officially announced it 'strongly condemns' the US attacks.
A spokesperson for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that bombing facilities under the protection of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is unacceptable.
China also urged Israel to enter ceasefire negotiations as soon as possible regarding this incident.
China also evacuated dozens of its nationals from Iran over the weekend urgently.
Experts believe that the US attacks will further escalate tensions in the Middle East and negatively impact regional security.
As conflicts between Iran and the US intensify, the international community, especially major countries like China, are calling on both sides for restraint and dialogue.
This attack on facilities protected by the IAEA has sparked international legal controversy.
Looking at stock market reactions, concerns over Middle Eastern instability caused crude oil prices to surge, which could affect energy-related companies' stocks.
China's firm stance and evacuation of its citizens may become significant variables for future US-China relations and the Middle East situation.
Personally, I think this incident highlights once again the complexity of international politics.
Especially, the nuclear issue strongly demonstrates that without trust between nations and international cooperation, resolution is extremely difficult.
We must continue to watch how such incidents will impact our financial markets and the global economy going forward.
