""The war with Iran is the priority of all countries in and outside the region. It is an opportunity China will not miss to demonstrate its leadership and diplomatic initiative.""
""Its narrative is that while Washington is reckless, aggressive and heedless of the cost to others, China is a principled and responsible champion of peace. What we are seeing from China is messaging, not mediation.""
China is enhancing its diplomatic role in the Iran war by proposing a five-point plan and seeking support from Gulf countries. This initiative is seen as an opportunity for China to showcase its leadership.

The U.S. administration shows little interest in China's mediation efforts, fearing it may elevate China's international standing without yielding real results.
