America’s blockade in the Strait of Hormuz is “dangerous and irresponsible,” a spokesman from China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Tuesday.
The Chinese official argued that the U.S. blockade, which is only related to vessels going to or from Iranian ports, risks undermining “an already fragile ceasefire.”
“This will only aggravate confrontation, escalate tension, undermine the already fragile ceasefire, and further jeopardize safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. It is a dangerous and irresponsible move,” Guo Jiakun said.
