UNITED NATIONS, June 23 (Xinhua) — China’s permanent representative to the United Nations Fu Cong condemned the United States at an emergency meeting of the Security Council on Sunday for striking Iran’s nuclear facilities.
“Yesterday (Saturday) the United States attacked three Iranian nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. China strongly condemns the US attacks on Iran and the bombing of nuclear sites under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards,” the Chinese diplomat said.
According to him, the US actions grossly violate the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and international law, and also infringe on the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Iran. These strikes have increased tensions in the Middle East and caused serious damage to the international nuclear non-proliferation regime.
Fu Cong stressed that the international community must uphold justice and make genuine efforts to de-escalate the situation and restore peace and stability.
He also called for an immediate ceasefire and ceasefire.
“With tensions in the Middle East sharply escalating, China is deeply concerned about the risk of the situation spiraling out of control. All parties to the conflict, especially Israel, should immediately cease fire to prevent further escalation and resolutely prevent the war from spreading,” Fu Cong said.
“The parties concerned must respect international law, restrain the urge to use force and avoid escalating conflicts and adding fuel to the fire,” he added. –0–
