China Warns Iran War ‘Flames Spreading’ As Beijing Pushes Ceasefire Before Xi–Trump Summit

China has called for an immediate ceasefire in the escalating Iran war, warning that the “flames of war” risk spreading across the Middle East.

China also stressed respect for regional sovereignty while signaling willingness to engage Washington despite deep geopolitical rivalries.
