Xi's 2nd warning to Trump in 48 hours? China furious as US strikes Iran, backs key Mid-East ally

China has issued a second warning in two days as tensions between the United States and Iran continue to escalate. Beijing urged all sides to exercise restraint, avoid further military confrontation, and return to diplomatic negotiations. The warning came after reports of U.S. strikes on Iranian military assets and Iran’s retaliatory attacks on American bases in the region. Meanwhile, Donald Trump intensified his rhetoric, claiming Iran had been “defeated” and warning that further action against Tehran’s energy infrastructure remains possible. As Washington and Tehran exchange threats and military blows, China is positioning itself as a vocal opponent of escalation and a supporter of renewed diplomacy.
