China calls US-Iran ceasefire ‘very fragile’, urges unified opposition to escalation

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Monday said the current ⁠ceasefire ⁠between the U.S. and Iran is “very fragile” and urged the ⁠global community to “unequivocally oppose any actions that undermine the ceasefire or escalate the confrontation.”
