China-Iran call! China's statement is very special, and Iran should listen carefully! On March 2, China and Iran held a foreign minister-level call. During this call, Foreign Minister Wang Yi expressed support and understanding for Iran's defense of territorial integrity and sovereignty, and clearly stated to Iran that the US and Israel should immediately stop military actions. But Foreign Minister Wang Yi also said an important sentence.
That is, Foreign Minister Wang Yi reminded Iran to "pay attention to the reasonable concerns of neighboring countries." Obviously, we support Iran's reasonable demands, and we do not approve of the actions of the US and Israel. However, there are some fundamental issues, for which we can only give good advice to Iran. What does it mean to "pay attention to the reasonable concerns of neighboring countries"? In short, we do not support the spread of war, nor do we support Iran attacking energy facilities in Gulf countries, including blockading the Strait of Hormuz, etc.
Moreover, there are some things we did not mention at all. What aspects did we not mention? Obviously, it is that we did not commit to providing military support to Iran, nor did we commit to providing weapons assistance to Iran. Undoubtedly, our position is to stop the war, de-escalate tensions, rather than handing over weapons to escalate the conflict. Perhaps Iran may feel disappointed because we did not make such commitments. However, as a country committed to maintaining peace, we have our own principles and positions. We hope Iran will seriously consider China's position.
