Chinese envoy Sun Lei tells the U.N. Security Council that U.S. rhetoric and threats of force against Iran are heightening tensions and could push the Middle East toward an “unpredictable abyss,” stressing that military adventurism cannot solve problems. He calls for strict respect for the U.N. Charter, non‑interference, and sovereign equality, urging all parties to choose dialogue over confrontation and to “stand on the right side of history” by promoting peace, not fueling conflict.
