During today's (March 1, 2026) press conference in the Chinese Ministry of abroad Affairs spokesperson for the question:
It has been reported that Iran's highest leader ajatollah Ali Chamenei was killed by raids conducted by the United States and Israel. What is China's position on this matter?
he replied:
The attack and assassination of Iran's ultimate leader is simply a serious violation of Iran's sovereignty and security. This violates the objectives and principles of the United Nations Charter and the basic standards of global relations. China powerfully opposes it and condemns it with all its determination. We call for the immediate cessation of military action, the non-enhancement of the tense situation and the joint efforts to keep peace and stableness in the mediate East and worldwide.
