When asked about US president's claims that Washington would delay a planned attack on Iranian power facilities by five days and the US government was in talks with unnamed Iranian officials, Chinese FM spokesperson Lin Jian said that prolonging the conflict serves no party's interests, and ceasefire and dialogue are the only viable way forward. China is deeply concerned about the continued escalation and spillover of the current situation, which is impacting regional and international peace and stability. Relevant parties are urged to immediately cease hostilities and return to the track of peaceful dialogue as soon as possible, said Lin.
