Bloomberg reported: "China is pressuring Iran to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, avoiding attacks on oil and liquefied natural gas transport vessels... China urges Tehran not to attack energy transport routes that are vital to global and Chinese markets."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not directly confirm the specific term "pressure" in Bloomberg's report about "China pressuring Iran to keep the Strait of Hormuz open," but clearly called on all parties to maintain the safety of the strait's waterway.
Previously, there were reports that Iran had allowed Chinese ships to pass through. After confirmation, the report was false.
Iran has implemented a non-discriminatory ban, which applies to all ships, regardless of nationality.
Iran has not given a green light to Chinese ships. Currently, the passage through the Strait of Hormuz for all ships, including Chinese ones, has been closed, and there is a risk of real-fire attacks.
The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has announced the closure of the strait and will strike any ship attempting to pass through. A large number of ships have already stopped sailing or taken detours, and GPS signals are also severely interfered with.
Chinese diplomatic efforts and reminders: The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called for an end to hostilities, demanding the strait remain open and ensure the safety of energy transportation.
American media reporting that China is pressuring Iran is malicious, aiming to sow discord between the two countries.
War was instigated by the United States, and Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is a countermeasure against American aggression. China calls for an end to hostilities, keeping the strait open, rather than solely pressuring Iran.
