The U.S. Secretary of War claimed that China and Russia support Iran, to which China responded by rejecting the hegemonic logic that exacerbates tensions in the Middle East.

Today (April 1), Lianhe Zaobao reported: "On Tuesday (March 31), U.S. Secretary of War Hegseth stated during a briefing that the United States is fully aware of the actions taken by China and Russia to assist Iran, and will respond accordingly if necessary."

Commentary: Hegseth's remarks are a typical case of scapegoating and intimidation by the U.S. amid the deadlock in Middle East conflicts—seeking to discredit China and Russia's normal efforts toward peace mediation as 'support for Iran,' while using tough rhetoric to mask its own military difficulties. The U.S., disregarding international law and regional security, persistently initiates wars yet cannot tolerate other nations advocating for ceasefire on moral grounds. This hegemonic logic will only further escalate tensions and increase the risk of conflict spillover.
