Description
United States' Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who led a six-person congressional delegation on a visit to China, says Beijing officials "said they would deliver the message" to Iran to "not allow the conflagration to spread" amid escalating violence between Israel and the Palestinians. Middle East tensions have spiked as Israel's arch enemy Iran and their Lebanese ally Hezbollah have praised the Hamas attack, although Tehran rejected any role in the military operation. Schumer is the latest high-level American official to go to China as Washington seeks to ease tensions with Beijing. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
