China Denounces Trump Threat of Force Iran 2026 Amid Deadly Protests
China denounces the Trump threat of force against Iran in 2026, calling for peace and stability as deadly anti-government protests escalate in Tehran.

Trump Threat of Force Iran 2026: China’s Strategic Opposition
According to SCMP on January 12, 2026, Beijing has voiced strong opposition to external interference as Donald Trump considers strikes against Iran. Mao Ning, a spokeswoman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, stated that sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected.
We always oppose interference in other countries’ internal affairs. The sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries should be respected and [we] oppose the use or threat of force in international relations.
The warning follows Trump's Sunday comments, where he indicated that Iran had crossed a "red line" regarding the killing of protesters. Beijing, however, urged the Iranian government and its people to overcome "current difficulties" independently.
