China Blasts U.S. Naval Blockade of Iran as "Irresponsible and Dangerous"
China has condemned a U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports, calling the action "irresponsible and dangerous." As the largest buyer of Iranian oil, China stated the blockade directly threatens regional stability.
The Chinese government warned that the U.S. move undermines an "already fragile ceasefire" in the region. It did not specify the exact location of this ceasefire.
The statement highlights a major diplomatic clash between the world's two largest economies. It centers on U.S. military action against a key Chinese energy supplier.
The U.S. has not yet publicly responded to China's accusation. The blockade is part of broader international tensions over Iran's policies.
