In a strong diplomatic move, China and Oman have condemned the recent Israeli strike on Iran, denouncing the action as a blatant violation of international law and a threat to regional stability. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a telephone conversation with Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi, who expressed deep concern over the attack and its fallout.
Omani authorities criticized the strike as a serious infringement on Iran's sovereignty and territorial integrity. They warned that targeting nuclear facilities could lead to nuclear leakage and catastrophic consequences, raising tensions across the region.
Wang Yi stressed that the use of force undermines international norms and noted that the disruption of indirect negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue has only deepened the crisis. Both officials agreed that the immediate priority must be to halt the fighting. As Wang Yi remarked, "The sooner a ceasefire is achieved, the fewer the losses will be. We must not allow the region to descend into an unpredictable abyss."
Highlighting their commitment to peace, Oman praised China for its consistent role in upholding justice within the international community. The Chinese official reiterated support for the joint statement issued by 21 Arab and Islamic countries, calling for respect of national sovereignty and a return to peaceful dialogue. China will continue to coordinate with Oman and other regional partners on multilateral platforms such as the United Nations to help de-escalate tensions in the Middle East.
This unified call for peace sends a powerful message: in a world where every action counts, unity and dialogue are key to preventing further conflict. Stay informed and keep the conversation going—peace matters! ✌️🌏
