Summary:
China expressed hope that the Iranian government and people will overcome the ongoing anti-government protests and urged against foreign interference, emphasizing respect for national sovereignty and stability in the Middle East.

China, a key economic and diplomatic partner of Iran, continues to deepen ties with Tehran through significant oil imports and military cooperation. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump is considering various responses, including military action and expanded sanctions, while also maintaining that diplomacy remains his first option.

Scripture: Proverbs 21:30-31
"There is no wisdom and no understanding and no counsel against the LORD. The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but victory belongs to the LORD."
Commentary:
Powerful governments and alliances may maneuver for influence, but the outcome never escapes God’s hand. People on the street in Iran are feeling the real cost—uncertainty is sharpest for them. Even as major actors like China and the United States weigh their options, the tension points to ancient patterns of unrest and shifting allegiances that Scripture repeatedly describes in the nations.
