Amid the escalating tensions betwixt state of israel and persia, people's republic of china has warned the United States against the “ habituate of force" as US President Donald Trump mulls American intervention.

"China opposes any act that... Infringes upon the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of other countries, and opposes the use or threat of use of force in international relations", he told reporters.
Earlier this week, Chinese President Xi Jinping stated Beijing was "deeply worried" about Israel's military strikes against Iran.
Speaking on the sidelines of a summit with five Central Asian nations in Kazakhstan, the Chinese president called for an "urgent de-escalation."
"All parties should work to de-escalate the conflict as soon as possible and prevent the situation from worsening further," Xi was quoted as saying by Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.
He added that China was ready to play a "constructive role" in restoring peace and stability to the region.
"China calls on all relevant parties, especially those countries that have a special influence on Israel, to shoulder their due responsibilities, take immediate measures to cool down the tense situation and prevent the conflict from escalating and spreading," stated Guo in another press briefing, without naming any countries.
China's latest statement comes after US president Donald Trump stated he would be mulling over strikes against Iran. The United States has been a primary ally for Israel for decades, and its support has only increased after the outbreak of the war in Gaza in October 2023.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump delivered a mixed message regarding Iran and stated that he “may or may not” order strikes against Iran. Adding that he has “run out of patience,” Trump has called on Iran to step back from the conflict.
