China Blames Trump for Escalating Iran-Israel Conflict

China has strongly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for fueling the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel, warning that his recent statements are making a dangerous situation even worse. The condemnation comes after Trump issued a dramatic call on social media for all Tehran residents to “immediately evacuate,” following a series of heavy strikes between Israel and Iran that have left the region on edge.

Rising Violence and Global Concerns

The latest crisis erupted after Israel launched a surprise aerial attack on several targets across Iran, claiming the strikes were necessary to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Iran, however, denies these accusations and says it is the victim of unprovoked aggression. The violence has put ongoing nuclear negotiations at risk and raised fears of a wider regional war.

In response to the escalating conflict, President Trump took to his Truth Social platform with a blunt warning: “Everyone should immediately evacuate!” His remarks quickly drew international attention and criticism.

China’s Response: “Pouring Oil on the Fire”

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun condemned Trump’s rhetoric, saying that such comments only make the situation more dangerous.

“Fanning the flames, pouring oil, making threats and mounting pressure will not help to promote the de-escalation of the situation, but will only intensify and widen the conflict,” Guo stated during a press briefing.

Guo called on all parties involved—especially countries with “special influence” over Israel—to act responsibly and take urgent steps to calm tensions. He stressed that the use of threats and pressure would not bring peace, but rather increase the risk of a larger and more destructive conflict.

China Urges Citizens to Leave Israel

As the violence between Iran and Israel continues, China’s embassy in Israel issued a separate alert on Tuesday, urging Chinese citizens to leave the country “as soon as possible.” The embassy’s statement, shared on WeChat, advised nationals to exit via land border crossings, recommending travel toward Jordan if it could be done safely.

The embassy warned that the conflict “continues to escalate,” with widespread damage to civilian infrastructure and a growing number of casualties. Chinese officials said the security situation is becoming more serious, and that protecting the lives of Chinese nationals is a top priority.

Beijing Calls for Dialogue and De-escalation

China’s message to the international community is clear: dialogue and negotiation are the only ways to resolve the crisis. President Xi Jinping and other top Chinese officials have expressed deep concern about the risk of a broader war in the Middle East, calling for all sides to exercise restraint and return to the negotiating table.

Guo Jiakun emphasized that “all relevant parties, especially those with special influence, must shoulder their responsibilities, take immediate measures to de-escalate tensions, and prevent the conflict from expanding and spreading.”

Trump’s Stance and the Global Reaction

President Trump’s approach has been to apply maximum pressure on Iran, urging the country to return to nuclear talks and warning of consequences if it does not comply. His public calls for evacuation and stern warnings to Iran’s leaders have been viewed by many as provocative and counterproductive.

The Chinese government, along with other international actors, is urging the United States to use its influence to promote peace rather than escalate hostilities. Beijing’s criticism reflects a broader global concern that the conflict could spiral out of control if world powers do not act responsibly.

Regional Impact and Humanitarian Concerns

The renewed fighting has already caused significant civilian suffering. Much of Israel and Iran’s civilian infrastructure has been damaged, and casualties are rising on both sides. Humanitarian organizations are warning of a potential refugee crisis if the violence continues.

China’s embassy has joined other foreign missions in Israel in urging their citizens to leave, highlighting the seriousness of the situation and the growing fears for the safety of foreign nationals.

Conclusion: A Call for Calm in a Time of Crisis

As the Iran-Israel conflict enters a dangerous new phase, China’s message is one of caution and diplomacy. While President Trump’s statements have drawn sharp criticism from Beijing, the focus now is on preventing further escalation and finding a peaceful solution. With the world watching, the coming days will be critical in determining whether diplomacy can prevail—or if the region will be plunged deeper into violence.
