# China has accused President Donald Trump of fanning the flames in the mounting conflict between Iran and Israel, after the US leader warned Tehran residents to “immediately evacuate”. The sudden flare-up in hostilities has sparked fears of a wider conflict, with Trump urging Iran back to the negotiating table after Israel’s attacks derailed ongoing nuclear talks. Asked about Trump’s remarks, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said making threats and mounting pressure will not help to promote the de-escalation of the situation, but will only intensify and widen the conflict.
