China has accused former U.S. President Donald Trump of worsening tensions between Iran and Israel after he urged Tehran residents to evacuate immediately. The warning followed Israel’s surprise aerial attacks across Iran aimed at halting its alleged nuclear ambitions — claims Tehran denies.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun criticized Trump’s remarks, saying they inflame tensions rather than promote peace. He urged influential nations to help de-escalate the crisis and prevent further conflict.China’s embassy in Israel also advised its citizens to leave the country urgently, citing rising civilian casualties and deteriorating security. It recommended traveling via land borders, especially toward Jordan.
