Milan, 17 June (LaPresse) – China accuses US President Donald Trump of pouring fuel on the fire in the war between Israel and Iran. When asked to comment on the United States' unilateral support for Israel after Trump wrote on Truth that everyone should evacuate Tehran and that Iran should sign the nuclear agreement, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said that throwing fuel on the fire will only intensify and widen the conflicts. ‘Pouring oil on the fire, threatening and exerting pressure will not help ease the situation, but will only intensify contradictions and widen the conflict,’ the spokesman said, according to the Global Times, stressing that escalation is not in the interests of any party. Beijing, Guo added, calls on all parties concerned, and in particular those countries that have particular influence over Israel, to shoulder their responsibilities, take immediate action to ease tensions and prevent the conflict from further escalating.
