China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi warned of "immeasurably serious consequences" if nuclear sites are targeted in the Middle East during a meeting with the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Mariano Grossi, in Beijing. Wang emphasized the escalating conflict in the region and the accelerating impact it is having, specifically highlighting the dangers of attacks on nuclear facilities. He stated that such attacks would plunge the region into a "dire situation."
