China's foreign minister and his Pakistani counterpart will discuss ‌the ‌situation in ‌Iran during ⁠the latter's visit to ⁠China on Tuesday, China's ⁠foreign ministry said.

The ‌two ‌countries have ‌similar ‌positions on major international and regional ‌issues, a spokesperson for ⁠the ministry ⁠said in a press briefing.

The United States and Israel launched coordinated airstrikes on Iran in February 2026, targeting military and nuclear facilities, which triggered a wider regional conflict. 

Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks against Israel and US positions, widening the fighting across the region. 

The war has raised serious global concerns about further escalation, economic instability, and the risk of a prolonged Middle East conflict.
