Iran’s ambassador to China has called on major global and regional powers to help ensure a durable peace following a temporary ceasefire between Iran and the United States.
Speaking in Beijing, Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli said countries including Russia, Türkiye and Pakistan could play a vital role in maintaining stability. He emphasized the need for collective efforts to ensure that Washington does not resume military operations.
Moreover, Fazli urged key members of the United Nations Security Council to collaborate with mediating nations. He stressed that a “reliable guarantee” is essential to sustain the ceasefire and prevent renewed conflict.
The remarks came shortly after Pakistan-facilitated indirect talks helped secure a two-week truce between Tehran and Washington. Consequently, several countries have welcomed the development as an opportunity to de-escalate tensions in the region.
However, diplomatic divisions remain visible. Notably, China and Russia recently vetoed a UN Security Council resolution that proposed coordinated “defensive” measures to safeguard navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. This highlights differing approaches among global powers on managing the crisis.
The conflict, which escalated on February 28, has caused significant casualties and disruption. According to reports, more than 1,300 people have been killed, while retaliatory strikes by Iran targeted multiple countries, including Israel and Gulf states hosting US assets.
In addition, the الحرب has affected global markets and aviation, underscoring its far-reaching consequences. Therefore, international cooperation remains critical as efforts continue to transform the temporary ceasefire into a lasting peace agreement.
