Chinese Ambassador Sun Lei has warned that the United States' launching of "major attacks against Iran" has "once again" pushed the region "into a dangerous precipice." Speaking on the escalating tensions, Sun emphasized that "the priority now is for the US to stop creating new conflicts and turmoil in the Middle East." The remarks come amid heightened US-Iran tensions following recent US airstrikes on Iranian targets. Sun's statement reflects China's growing concern over the destabilizing impact of US military actions in the region. The Chinese envoy urged all parties to exercise restraint and seek diplomatic solutions to avoid further escalation. According to Mehr News Agency, the Chinese ambassador's comments were made during a UN Security Council session on the situation in the Middle East.
