China has called on Iran and Israel to show restraint and avoid further escalation, warning that ongoing conflict could destabilize the region and impact global economic stability. Amid intensifying clashes and U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, Beijing urged all parties to seek a political resolution and prevent the war from spreading. The plea comes as tensions rise for an 11th day and the U.S. urges China to help prevent Iran from closing the vital Strait of Hormuz.
