On June 24, 2025, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a phone call with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi.

Seyed Abbas Araghchi briefed Wang Yi on the latest developments in the regional situation, emphasizing that the dangerous actions by Israel and the United States in attacking Iran's nuclear facilities seriously violate international law, leaving Iran with no choice but to respond. Although a ceasefire has just been reached between Iran and Israel, the situation remains unstable. Genuine negotiations can only begin once Israel halts its aggression. The session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has condemned the actions of the United States and Israel, and expects the Security Council to play a role in this matter. He appreciated China's understanding and support for Iran's legitimate position and expressed willingness to maintain close communication with China. Iran looks forward to China's greater role in easing the situation.

Wang Yi said that China has always been a builder of peace in the Middle East and a promoter of stability in the region. President Xi Jinping has put forward four proposals regarding the current situation, calling for an immediate ceasefire and an end of the hostilities, ensuring the safety of civilians, opening dialogue and negotiations, and advancing efforts for peace, which fully demonstrate China's principled position of standing up for fairness and upholding justice. After the U.S. attacked Iran, China immediately condemned the action. Military strikes on nuclear facilities under the safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency severely violate the purposes of the United Nations (U.N.) Charter and international law, and may lead to nuclear leaks or even nuclear disasters, which should be opposed by the international community.

Wang Yi said, China supports Iran's efforts to safeguard national sovereignty and security, and on that basis, to achieve a real ceasefire, restore normal life for the people, and help deescalate the situation in the Middle East as soon as possible. China commends the OIC's unified voice for a ceasefire and an end of the hostilities, as well as the advancement of peace. China is ready to encourage the U.N. Security Council to play its due role and fulfill its primary responsibility of safeguarding international peace and security. Wang Yi appreciates the Iranian government's support in China's efforts to evacuate Chinese nationals in Iran, and hopes that Iran will continue to ensure the safety of Chinese institutions, personnel, and diplomatic missions.
