China has strongly opposed any attempt or threat to target Iran’s Supreme Leader, emphasizing respect for Iran’s sovereignty and internal political decisions. The statement came after reports about the appointment of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s son as the new Supreme Leader of Iran. Chinese officials said the selection of Iran’s leader is a constitutional matter that should be decided only by Iran.
According to international news agencies, China made it clear that any threat or action against Iran’s Supreme Leader would be unacceptable. Beijing stressed that leadership decisions inside a country are part of its internal governance and should not become a reason for foreign pressure or interference.
Chinese officials also highlighted their long-standing position of opposing interference in the internal affairs of other countries under any circumstances. They stated that no country should use political, military, or diplomatic pressure to influence another nation’s internal matters.
China further emphasized that Iran’s sovereignty, national security, and territorial integrity must be respected by the international community. Officials said maintaining stability and respecting international principles is important for regional peace.
The statement reflects China’s broader foreign policy approach, which focuses on non-interference and respect for national sovereignty. By supporting Iran’s right to make its own constitutional decisions, China has reiterated its position that countries should resolve their internal matters independently without outside involvement.
Analysts say the statement also highlights China’s interest in maintaining stability in the Middle East. Respect for sovereignty and dialogue between nations remain key principles that Beijing continues to promote in international relations.
