China calls for calm after Trump warning to Tehran residents
China is calling for more efforts by influential countries to defuse the Iran-Israel conflict, following warnings by U.S. President Donald Trump that Tehran residents should evacuate.
Pouring oil on the fire will not help to ease the situation but will exacerbate conflicts, Foreign Office spokesman Guo Jiakun said in Beijing when asked about Trump’s social media post.
Shortly before leaving the G7 Summit in Canada, Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social: “I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!’’
China was calling on all sides concerned “especially, those countries with particular influence over Israel’’ to take immediate measures to calm the tense situation, Guo said.
The U.S. is Israel’s strongest ally, while Beijing and Tehran have close relations.
China is a major purchaser of Iranian oil and is suspected of supplying Iran with raw materials important for armaments. (Dpa/NAN)
