China is closely monitoring developments in the Middle East. Recently, the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel has raised concerns among regional countries.

Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Ciakun emphasized that the first to suffer from this conflict will be the Middle Eastern countries. He called on all parties to reduce tensions and return to dialogue.

Guo stressed that wars do not bring lasting peace and that international disputes should be resolved through dialogue.

China's Middle East policy is centered around energy security and development. In this context, its relations with Iran are of great importance.

China emphasized the need to open space for diplomacy to resolve Iran's nuclear issue and stated its readiness to play a constructive role in reducing regional tensions.

China's 25-year strategic cooperation agreement with Iran shows the depth of its relations with this country. This situation could also affect regional balances.

In conclusion, the Iran-Israel conflict is recorded as a moment testing China's strategic cooperation understanding. This crisis also reveals the limits of Eastern diplomacy.
