China’s foreign minister Wang Yi said on Thursday that US and Israeli attacks on Iran were a violation of international law, Chinese state media reported, as he held calls with his EU, German and Saudi counterparts.
Wang also stressed that the role of the UN Security Council — of which China is a permanent member — “should prevent the escalation of conflict”, state broadcaster CCTV said, as the international body debates a draft resolution on the use of force in the Hormuz strait.
