US EditionChina's Diplomatic Role Amid Middle East Conflict
- On Sunday, June 22, 2025, the UN Security Council convened an urgent meeting during which China, Russia, and Pakistan introduced a resolution urging an immediate and unconditional ceasefire across the Middle East amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel.
- The draft resolution emerged following recent U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and Iran's missile strike on the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, which escalated regional instability and prompted urgent diplomatic action.
- The resolution calls for safeguarding non-combatants, adherence to global legal standards, and a revival of diplomatic talks, while denouncing assaults on nuclear facilities that Iran described as unlawful aggression posing a threat to regional stability.
- UN Secretary-General António Guterres cautioned that the bombings represent a dangerous escalation with the potential to trigger cycles of retaliation, while China’s Ambassador Fu Cong emphasized that lasting stability in the Middle East cannot be secured through military action.
- The resolution requires nine affirmative votes and no vetoes to pass, but the U.S. is expected to veto it, illustrating deep divisions over the Middle East conflict and Iranian nuclear issue at the Security Council.
