China announced it will send US $200,000 in emergency humanitarian assistance to Iran to support victims of a deadly school attack, condemning the killing of at least 150 schoolgirls in Minab as a violation of international humanitarian law. Beijing’s gesture, channelled through the Red Cross Society of China to the Iranian Red Crescent, aims to comfort bereaved families and bolster relief efforts. China also urged all parties to halt military operations, return to dialogue, and avoid broader escalation. The comment comes amid intensifying US‑Israel strikes, Iranian retaliation, and regional tensions impacting global oil routes. (PC: AP)
