China's UN Envoy Condemns Israeli Strikes on Iran - State Media

IRAN, JUN 13 – China condemned Israel's strikes on Iran's nuclear and military sites, citing violations of sovereignty and urging restraint to prevent wider regional conflict, with over 200 Israeli planes involved, officials said.

  • On June 13, 2025, Israel carried out extensive strikes across approximately 100 sites in Iran, targeting key nuclear sites and command centers related to the military.
  • Israel said the operation, called Rising Lion, aimed to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon and to roll back threats to Israel's survival.
  • The strikes reportedly killed senior Iranian officials, including the commander-in-chief of the IRGC and top nuclear scientists, and caused damage at the Natanz enrichment site.
  • China voiced serious concern over Israel’s attacks on Iran, condemned breaches of Iran’s sovereignty, called for efforts to reduce tensions, and emphasized that escalating conflict in the region would be detrimental to all involved, according to spokesperson Lin Jian.
  • Iran promised a harsh response, launching over 100 drones toward Israel, while Russia and China issued travel advisories amid fears of broader conflict escalation.
