China's permanent UN representative Fu Cong told a Nov. 13 Security Council
meeting the Gulf situation is undergoing profound change, conflicts are
protracted across multiple fronts and spillovers are harming regional security
and development. He said US‑Iran talks are deadlocked, Yemen is rapidly
deteriorating and the risk of large‑scale regional conflict remains high; recent
rhetoric about planning to resume military action against Iran is particularly
worrying.
