China is making a bold move. It wants to become the peace broker in the growing Iran and Israel conflict. Beijing is now speaking directly with both Iran and Israel. It’s a dramatic twist in a story many thought was a battle between two enemies — Iran and Israel — with the USA always in the center.
China Condemns Attack, Offers Mediation
China made its move after Israel struck Iran in a dramatic attack last week. Beijing was quick to criticize the attack and called it a violation of Iran’s sovereignty. Foreign Minister Wang Yi called Iran’s counterpart and said, “China explicitly condemns this attack.”
This stands in contrast to Beijing’s silence over the Ukraine war, where it avoided naming or criticizing Russia directly. Now, it’s speaking up — and that shows a dramatic change in its diplomatic role.

China’s Rising Role in Middle East Conflict
China wants to show the world it can be a peace broker. It told Iran it supports its “legitimate rights and interests.” It also called Israel and asked it to resolve disputes through dialogue. Beijing even offered to “play a constructive role” in de-escaliating the situation.
This move highlights a growing confidence in Beijing. It wants to show it’s not a weak actor sitting on the sidelines — it’s a powerful force for peace and stability in a key region.
China’s role comes at a time when many developing and Global South countries are frustrated with the USA. Beijing is strengthening ties with Iran and Saudi Arabia and has condemned US sanctions. It also played a key role in Iran-Saudi Arabia peace talks in 2023.
This approach lets Beijing portray itself as a fair actor — a powerful friend to Iran and a neutral peace builder — in contrast to the USA, which many say has taken Israel’s side.

A Rising Peacemaker or Just Playing Politics?
Some say Beijing is not a neutral actor. It sells Iran oil and chemicals. It strengthens Iran’s ability to produce weapons. But Beijing’s move to ease tensions shows it wants to be a key actor in a world growing more divided.
Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump suggested Vladimir Putin might be a peace maker. Trump said, “I’d be open to it.” Putin, a close friend of Iran, could be another actor in this diplomatic story.
China is proud to step into this role. It wants to show it’s not weak or afraid to act. Beijing is sending a clear message to the world — it can influence peace talks in the Middle East just as much as the USA or Russia.
