China opposes attacks on civilian facilities in Iran and urges all parties involved in the Iran war to immediately cease military operations and get back on the track of political settlement as soon as possible, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said at a press briefing in Beijing on Friday.
Mao made the remarks in response to a media query about the current situation in Iran.
U.S. President Donald Trump posted a video on the social media Truth Social on Thursday, showing smoke rising from the B1 bridge in Karaj, the provincial capital of Iran's northern Alborz province , The post came hours after Trump threatened to bomb the country "back to the Stone Ages," warning of further destruction unless Iran comes to the table to end the five-week war.
"The military strikes launched by the United States and Israel against Iran were not authorized by the United Nations Security Council and clearly violated international law. China opposes attacks on civilian facilities. The relevant parties should immediately cease military operations and get back on the track of political settlement as soon as possible so as to avoid a humanitarian disaster of even greater gravity," Mao said.
