The Iranian Foreign Minister briefed China on the latest developments regarding the U.S.-Iran conflict, which is far from simple! On the 24th, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Iranian Foreign Minister Amirabdollahian during the SCO Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Kyrgyzstan. Amirabdollahian reported on the most recent situation in the Middle East and the Gulf region, stating: "The United States has violated the memorandum of understanding previously agreed upon by both sides, leading to a sharp escalation of tensions. We sincerely appreciate China's consistent adherence to an objective and impartial stance, its unwavering efforts to promote peace and halt hostilities, and we look forward to China continuing to play a crucial role in driving the situation toward de-escalation."

It must be said that Iran’s proactive briefing of China on the latest developments related to the U.S.-Iran conflict is indeed necessary. As comprehensive strategic partners, maintaining such communication between China and Iran is essential. Moreover, Iran is currently resisting hegemony and safeguarding its sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national security. The U.S. military's repeated violation of the ceasefire memorandum—reached after immense diplomatic effort by all parties—clearly demonstrates how stubborn and resolute America is in pursuing its hegemonic ambitions. The U.S. military strikes against Iran seriously violate international law and the UN Charter, and Iran has every right to respond and strike back at any aggressor targeting its sovereignty.

However, China also emphasized one key point: Iran needs to strengthen communication and dialogue with Gulf states, especially during this critical and sensitive period. Without proper engagement, there is a high risk of strategic miscalculations. Coupled with shadowy forces continuously inciting divisions and manipulating events behind the scenes, what began as a just struggle by Iran against American hegemony could easily be hijacked by the U.S. into a large-scale sectarian civil war between Shia and Sunni factions—exactly the trap they want to avoid. Therefore, Iran and Shia armed groups must remain calm and clear-headed, refrain from impulsive actions, or else the consequences could be catastrophic.
