In response to media inquiry over reports that senior US officials are preparing for the possibility of a strike on Iran in the coming days, citing people familiar with the matter, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated on Thursday that China opposes any acts that violate the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, infringe upon the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of other countries, and opposes the use or threat of force in international relations.

The international community, especially influential major powers, should uphold an impartial stance and a responsible attitude, create conditions for promoting a ceasefire and returning to dialogue and negotiation, so as to prevent the regional situation from sliding into an abyss and triggering greater disasters, Guo noted.
