چکیده

The armed confrontation that fanned out between Iran and Israel in June 2025 is used as a case study in this paper to analyze China's strategic role in maintaining peace in Asia. This conflict has not only resulted in serious geopolitical challenges to the Middle East but also has had a major impact on regional and global stability, especially in the Asian continent. The paper investigates the relationship between the conflict's evolution and China's diplomatic efforts to cool the situation while portraying itself as Iran's chief economic and diplomatic partner. China's reliance on energy supplies from the Middle East, which are crucial for its economic development and geopolitical influence, underpins its strategic role in the region. Notably, any disruption of energy flow through the Strait of Hormuz, an essential artery for Asian economies highly dependent on Middle Eastern energy imports, poses direct threats to Asia's economic stability. Furthermore, the conflict deepens global polarization between camps supporting Israel and Iran, with wide-ranging implications for security and politics in Asia. This paper highlights China's balanced diplomacy and realistic foreign policy in managing these effects, underscoring the need for multilateral cooperation to maintain peace and stability in the region.

چکیده [English]

The Iran-Israel conflict in June 2025 created serious geopolitical issues for the Middle East alongside Asia's stability. In this paper, focus on conflict escalation in Asia while looking at China's strategic role for peacekeeping with qualitative research of geopolitical scope, shows that China's Iran relations as the primary economic and diplomatic tie while employing Iran friendly measures to calm the situation. This research shows that China is becoming more dependent on Iran because of the need for in bulk Middle Eastern energy resources. This stands in contrast to China's geopolitical aspirations, which position as a major challenge to the US in the scope. This conflict directly endangers the global energy supply line through the Hormuz Strait, which services most Asia's energy import dependent economies. This, alongside the violent dispute, divides global powers into two opposing forces those who support Israel and those who support and defend Iran on conflict escalation. China is known for its balanced foreign policy, which greatly aids in mitigating the conflict's most severe repercussions. Conclude with the arguments made which connect issues on regional level to issues on the international level where the world needs more cohesively working and diplomacy to support peace on global scale.
