China supported Iran saying it will not be fair to attack without any conclusive evidence to back US claim. The US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo simply blamed Iran for the attacks without providing any evidence which provoked Iran to counter fire with the accusation of US deceit.
“In the absence of conclusive investigation and results, we don’t think it is responsible to blame anyone,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said.
“Our position is that we are against any action that aggravates or escalate tensions. We hope parties will refrain from actions that might escalate tension. We hope they will exercise self-restraint,” she said.
