The ongoing conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel has led to significant geopolitical instability. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran has caused a surge in oil prices, directly impacting global energy markets and potentially leading to broader economic disruptions.
China has announced $200,000 in emergency humanitarian assistance to Iran following an airstrike on a girls' primary school in Minab, southern Iran, which reportedly killed over 150 students. The attack occurred during ongoing joint military operations by the United States and Israel against Iran, which also led to the assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. China, through its Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun and the Red Cross Society of China, condemned the attacks on civilians and non-military targets, calling them severe violations of international humanitarian law. China has urged an immediate cessation of military operations to prevent further escalation and broader impacts on global economic growth. In retaliation for the attacks, Iran has launched drone and missile strikes and has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping lane, causing a surge in global oil prices.
