China has warned the US against military action as President Donald Trump weighs strikes on Iran amid rising Israel-Iran tensions. Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said any use of force would violate Iran’s sovereignty, urging respect for international law. President Xi Jinping earlier expressed “deep concern” over Israel’s actions, calling for urgent de-escalation at a summit in Kazakhstan. Beijing urged countries with “special influence” over Israel to prevent further conflict. Trump recently said he’s “run out of patience” with Iran, leaving open the possibility of intervention. China said it’s ready to play a “constructive role” in restoring peace. (PC: AFP)
