Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 26th (Reporter Wang Chuntao) “The key to resolving the current crisis lies in all parties immediately ceasing fire and hostilities, and quickly returning to the dialogue and negotiation track to avoid further escalation of the situation.” Defense Ministry spokesman Jiang Bin stated this during a regular press conference on March 26th, when answering questions regarding the recent situation in the Middle East.

A reporter asked, Israel’s Defense Minister stated that he and Prime Minister Netanyahu have authorized the military to kill any Iranian senior officials listed as targets without needing approval. What is your comment on this?

Jiang Bin stated that such remarks and actions seriously violate international law, contravene human conscience and morality. From assassinating foreign leaders to recklessly attacking civilian targets, believing in military force will not achieve security but will only lead to a deeper cycle of hatred and intensified conflict.

“We urge all relevant parties to immediately stop military actions to prevent greater disasters in the Middle East and the world,” Jiang Bin said.

Another reporter asked, the military conflicts in the Middle East have escalated recently, with the U.S. and Israel targeting each other’s energy facilities, and the passage through the Strait of Hormuz is facing severe threats, raising concerns that the escalation of the conflict could trigger a nuclear disaster. What is your comment on this?

“We call on all parties to immediately stop military actions, resolve conflicts and differences through equal dialogue, prevent the spread of hostilities, and avoid further escalation of the situation,” Jiang Bin stated, adding that China will continue to make positive efforts to ease the situation and restore peace.

A reporter asked, the situation in the Middle East has remained tense recently, and the U.S. has repeatedly expressed hope that China will send ships to escort in the Strait of Hormuz. What is your comment on this?

Jiang Bin stated that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz and its surrounding waters has recently become tense, impacting international goods and energy trade routes, undermining regional and global peace and stability. The key to resolving the current crisis lies in all parties immediately ceasing fire and hostilities, and quickly returning to the dialogue and negotiation track to avoid further escalation of the situation.
