China has called for an immediate ceasefire in the escalating Iran war, warning that the “flames of war” risk spreading across the Middle East. Speaking in Beijing, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the conflict should never have happened and urged all sides to return to negotiations instead of military confrontation. Beijing portrayed itself as a stabilizing global force while tensions rise between Iran, the United States and Israel. The call comes just weeks before a highly anticipated summit between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump. China also stressed respect for regional sovereignty while signaling willingness to engage Washington despite deep geopolitical rivalries.
