China warns of 'uncontrollable situation' in Middle East after Trump threats

China warned on Monday that further attacks on the Middle East risk creating an "uncontrollable situation" in the war-torn region, after US President Donald Trump threatened to "obliterate" Iran's power plants.

"If the war expands further and the situation deteriorates again, the entire region could be plunged into an uncontrollable situation," Chinese Foreign Minister Lin Jian told a news conference, when asked about Trump's threats.
