Global tensions have escalated as China and Oman condemned Israel's military strike on Iran, labeling it a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter.
In a high-stakes phone call on Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi — a senior member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee — spoke with Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi. The Omani minister strongly criticized the strike, warning that targeting nuclear facilities could risk a catastrophic leak and cause severe regional fallout 🚨.
Albusaidi emphasized that Israel's actions undermine Iran's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and he applauded China's consistent commitment to upholding justice and promoting peace. He expressed hope that China will play a greater role in restoring stability in the turbulent Middle East.
Wang Yi noted that the conflict has disrupted the hard-won momentum of indirect negotiations concerning Iran's nuclear program — negotiations to which Oman has significantly contributed. He stressed that halting the fighting immediately is crucial, as the sooner a ceasefire is secured, the fewer the losses will be.
This exchange comes on the heels of a joint statement by 21 Arab and Islamic countries, which calls for respecting national sovereignty and resolving disputes peacefully. Both China and Oman back this call, highlighting the importance of unity and dialogue in de-escalating tensions and fostering lasting peace 🤝.
As our digital generation stays connected and engaged, this news serves as a reminder that active, informed voices can contribute to global efforts in promoting peace and stability. Let’s keep the conversation going and hope for a more secure future for all!
