China has voiced opposition to the use of force in the Middle East as US President Donald Trump threatened to strike Iran over escalating protests there. Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning on Monday said Beijing hoped Iran’s government and its people would overcome “current difficulties” and uphold stability in the country. “We always oppose interference in other countries’ internal affairs,” she said at a press conference, responding to a question about Trump’s threats to attack Iran.

“The sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries should be respected and [we] oppose the use or threat of force in international relations. We call on parties to act in ways conducive to peace and stability in the Middle East.” Hundreds of protesters and security officers dead as Iran steps up efforts to quell unrest
