On his first trip to China since the war began, Araghchi met Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who said China was 'deeply distressed', that a resumption of hostilities was 'not acceptable' and that a comprehensive ceasefire was urgently needed; Tasnim quoted him calling the US-Israeli attacks 'illegitimate'. China's Foreign Ministry also urged a quick response to calls for safe passage through Hormuz.
Why it matters
Beijing pressed for de-escalation days before Trump's visit to China.
