Russia, China raise diplomatic voices against attacks on Iran

Mar 05, 2026

Moscow [Russia], March 5: Russia and China have criticised the US and Israeli attacks on Iran, with Moscow saying it had seen no evidence that Tehran was developing nuclear weapons, and Beijing demanding an immediate halt to the joint attacks.
Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi told his Israeli counterpart, Gideon Saar, on Tuesday that the attack on Iran came as negotiations between Washington and Tehran had "made significant progress, including addressing Israel's security concerns", China's Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
"Regrettably, this process has been interrupted by military action. China opposes any military strikes launched by Israel and the US against Iran," Wang told the Israeli foreign minister during a phone call.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also criticised the US and Israel on Tuesday, saying their war on Iran could lead to the very outcome they claimed they wanted to prevent: nuclear proliferation. Lavrov told a news conference that the logical consequence of the US and Israel's actions could be that "forces will emerge in Iran. in favour of doing exactly what the Americans want to avoid - acquiring a nuclear bomb".
