Russia and China have strongly condemned the recent U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, urging for a peaceful resolution to the escalating conflict. China’s U.N. Ambassador Fu Cong emphasized that peace in the Middle East cannot be achieved through military force and highlighted that diplomatic options to address the Iranian nuclear issue remain available. Meanwhile, Russian Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya drew parallels to the 2003 Iraq invasion, warning that the U.S. is repeating past mistakes by attacking Iran under questionable pretexts. Both nations call on the international community to pursue dialogue and de-escalation to avoid further regional instability.       #Russia #China #IranConflict #USStrikes #MiddleEastPeace #Diplomacy #UN #NuclearIssue #NoWar #GlobalSecurity #PeaceNotWar #InternationalRelations #IranNuclear  Also Read  'Many Nations Ready To Supply Tehran With Nuclear Warheads': Putin Aide As Iran’s Foreign Min Heads To Moscow :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/many-nations-ready-to-supply-tehran-with-nuclear-warheads-putin-aide-as-iran-s-foreign-min-heads-7780129.html?ref=DMDesc  Russia Warns US Against Military Intervention In Iran-Israel Conflict: 'Unpredictable Consequences' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-warns-us-against-military-intervention-in-iran-israel-conflict-cautions-of-unpredictable-co-4186277.html?ref=DMDesc  Tehran On Edge: Evacuation Alerts From Israel, US, China Amid Escalating Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/tehran-on-edge-evacuation-alerts-from-israel-us-china-amid-escalating-conflict-4183689.html?ref=DMDesc    ~HT.178~ED.194~

00:00The irresponsible, dangerous and provocative actions committed by the USA against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

00:07In violation of the basic principles of international law has been conducting massive strikes on Iranian infrastructure and sites.

00:14They together launched an unprovoked missile and bomb attack on three nuclear sites in Iran.

00:20It's prepared not only to turn a blind eye to the killings of tens of thousands of Palestinian women, children and older persons,

00:25but also to gamble with the safety and well-being of humanity as a whole.

00:28It's unconcerned by either the radiological consequences, nor the threat to the lives and health of a huge number of people,

00:35civilians including women and children in the region and beyond.

00:38Washington, much like West Jerusalem, sees itself as the highest judge in the land.

00:43Thus, the U.S. has confirmed that in order to safeguard their global hegemony,

00:47it's prepared to commit any crimes, any violations of international law.

00:51Let me remind you that no one gave the U.S. the authority to act in such a way.

00:56We call for an immediate ceasefire and ending the hostilities.

01:01In the context of the abrupt escalation of tensions in the Middle East,

01:05China is deeply concerned about the risk of the situation getting out of control

01:08and avoid exacerbating conflicts and adding fuel to the fire.

01:12We call for effective protection of civilians.

01:15Peace in the Middle East cannot be achieved by the use of force.

01:19Dialogue and negotiation are the fundamental way out.

01:22The Security Council has the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security.

01:27Russia condemns in the most decisive terms the irresponsible, dangerous and provocative actions

01:33committed by the USA against the Islamic Republic of Iran, a sovereign member state of the United Nations.

01:40As we know, in the early hours on the 22nd of June, the U.S. Air Force, in full cooperation and coordination with the Israeli Air Force,

01:49an air force which for over a week, in violation of the basic principles of international law,

01:54has been conducting massive strikes on Iranian infrastructure and sites,

01:58they together launched an unprovoked missile and bomb attack on three nuclear sites in Iran,

02:05sites under IEA safeguards, Fodou, Natanz and Isfahan.

02:10In so doing, Washington yet again demonstrated its complete contempt for the position of the international community.

02:18Washington reasserted that to further the interests of its Israeli ally,

02:23it's prepared not only to turn a blind eye to the killings of tens of thousands of Palestinian women,

02:27children and older persons, but also to gamble with the safety and well-being of humanity as a whole.

02:33Through their actions, the U.S. has opened a Pandora's box.

02:36No one knows what new catastrophes and suffering it will bring.

02:39In the last 10 days, we heard three briefings from the IEADG, Mr. Rafael Grossi.

02:47He cautioned that strikes on Iranian nuclear infrastructure could have absolutely unpredictable repercussions,

02:53as well as that they pose a major threat to both the nuclear safety and security,

02:59not only in Iran, but also in the region and the world.

03:03Yet Washington is completely unconcerned.

03:06It's unconcerned by either the radiological consequences nor the threat to the lives and health of a huge number of people,

03:12civilians including women and children, in the region and beyond.

03:16Washington, much like West Jerusalem, sees itself as the highest judge in the land,

03:21vested with the right to mete out justice as it sees fit.

03:25Thus, the U.S. has confirmed that in order to safeguard their global hegemony,

03:29it's prepared to commit any crimes, any violations of international law.

03:32Let me remind you that no one gave the U.S. the authority to act in such a way.

03:39We insistently offered our U.S. colleagues our mediation services

03:44so as to find a peaceful, mutually agreeable solution surrounding the Iranian nuclear program.

03:50Yet our U.S. colleagues are clearly not interested in diplomacy today.

03:56Responsibility for this falls squarely on the shoulders of the U.S. leadership,

03:59especially given that it is the U.S. leadership that not only publicly acknowledged its responsibility for these actions,

04:06but actually flaunted it, demonstrating wholesale disregard for the norms of international law

04:11and the U.N. Charter, as well as Security Council resolutions,

04:14including Resolution 487 and Resolution 2231,

04:19as well as the Non-Proliferation Treaty, the NPT.

04:21Yesterday, the U.S. conducted strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and East Fahan.

04:30China strongly condemns the U.S. attacks on Iran

04:33and the bombing of nuclear facilities under the safeguards of the IAEA.

04:41The actions of the United States seriously violate the purposes and principles of the U.N. Charter

04:46and international law, as well as Iran's sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

04:53It has exacerbated tensions in the Middle East

04:56and dealt a heavy blow to the international nuclear non-proliferation regime.

05:01The international community must uphold justice

05:03and make concrete efforts to cool down the situation and restore peace and stability.

05:10In this connection, I wish to put forward four appeals.

05:13First, we call for an immediate ceasefire and ending the hostilities.

05:19In the context of the abrupt escalation of tensions in the Middle East,

05:23China is deeply concerned about the risk of the situation getting out of control.

05:27The parties to the conflict, Israel in particular,

05:31should reach an immediate ceasefire to prevent a spiraling escalation

05:34and to resolutely avoid the spillover of the war.

05:39The parties concerned should abide by international law,

05:42curb the impulse to use force,

05:45and avoid exacerbating conflicts and adding fuel to the fire.

05:50Second, we call for effective protection of civilians.

05:55The ultimate victims of all conflicts are the innocent people.

06:00China is deeply saddened by the large number of civilian casualties caused by the conflict.

06:06Civilians and civilian facilities must not become targets of military operations.

06:11Civilians and the bottom line of international humanitarian law must not be breached.

06:16Parties to the conflict should place the interests and well-being of the people of the countries in the region above everything else

06:22and make every effort to avoid harm to innocent civilians and refrain from attacking civilian facilities.

06:29Third, we call for commitment to dialogue and negotiation.

06:34Peace in the Middle East cannot be achieved by the use of force.

06:38Dialogue and negotiation are the fundamental way out.

06:42At present, diplomatic means to address the Iranian nuclear issue haven't been exhausted,

06:47and there is still hope for a peaceful solution.

06:51Parties should stay firmly committed to the political settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue

06:56and work to bring it back onto the track of a political solution through dialogue and negotiation,

07:02with a view to reaching an agreement acceptable to all parties.

07:07Fourth, we call for swift actions by the Security Council.

07:11The Security Council has the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security

07:18and cannot stand idly by in the face of a major crisis.

07:27Russia, China, and Pakistan have proposed a draft resolution calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire,

07:35the protection of civilians, respect for international law, and engaging in dialogue and negotiation.

07:40We hope that Council members can demonstrate their strong sense of responsibility

07:45by jointly supporting the draft resolution to enable the Security Council

07:49to fulfill its responsibilities for the maintenance of international peace and security.

07:54China stands ready to work with the international community to foster synergy,

07:58uphold justice, and make unremitting efforts to restore peace and stability in the Middle East.

08:03Thank you, President.
