China has announced humanitarian assistance for Iran and Lebanon in response to the humanitarian crisis caused by ongoing war conditions. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Beijing will provide aid to support recovery and reconstruction activities in both countries. Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told reporters in Beijing that China is deeply saddened by the humanitarian disaster resulting from the conflicts in Iran and Lebanon.

According to the ministry, the assistance aims to help the people of both nations rebuild their livelihoods and improve economic conditions. This marks the second time since February that China has pledged aid to Tehran, following an earlier delivery in March. The announcement comes after the United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran on February 28.

Meanwhile, the United States and Iran have agreed, through Pakistan’s mediation, to a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the conflict, with a formal signing ceremony scheduled in Switzerland on Friday. Observers view China’s aid as part of its active diplomatic and economic engagement in post-war reconstruction efforts.
