Latest statement from the Foreign Minister of Iran, related to China and Russia.
Russian State News Agency reported late on February 28 that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said during an interview on the 28th: "We maintain close communication with Russia, China, and other countries in the region. I am ready to make efforts to find any fair and reasonable solution that can end this war in a dignified manner."
After the US and Israel carried out attacks on Iran causing casualties, Russia characterized the US-Israeli attack as "a premeditated armed aggression," while China emphasized that "the sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity of Iran must be respected." The two countries jointly requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. This move is not only a defense of the principles of international law but also a counterbalance to unilateral bullying. The synchronized actions of China and Russia demonstrate the strategic coordination - not intervening militarily to escalate tensions, but using multilateral mechanisms to cool down the situation, bringing the crisis back to the track of political resolution.
Araghchi's statement sent a key signal: after retaliation, it is eager to mitigate losses and does not want the conflict to escalate further. China and Russia have become its strategic support and negotiation backing. After all, a full-scale war would destroy the economic lifeline and could trigger a regime security crisis. The support from China and Russia provides diplomatic buffer, allowing it to explore negotiation space without showing weakness. However, whether Iran can achieve a "dignified withdrawal" with the help of China and Russia depends on how long the US and Israel will fight and how much loss they can bear.
