China and Pakistan have renewed calls for diplomacy and restraint as the conflict between the United States and Iran continues to escalate, urging all parties to preserve the fragile momentum towards peace. During high-level talks in Shanghai, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Pakistani officials stressed the importance of honouring the existing ceasefire memorandum of understanding and resuming dialogue between Washington and Tehran. Calling the agreement a "hard-won" diplomatic breakthrough, Wang Yi warned against allowing renewed military action to derail the progress already achieved. In a strong appeal for restraint, Wang Yi said, "Peace is before our eyes. We cannot fall at the last hurdle," urging all sides to avoid actions that could trigger a wider regional conflict.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said his administration is consulting legal advisers over whether any action could be taken if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits New York for the UN General Assembly. In an interview, Mamdani said he believes Netanyahu belongs in The Hague, referring to the International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant issued in 2024. He also acknowledged that he is uncertain whether he has the legal authority to direct any action and said the city's Law Department is reviewing the matter.
