🇨🇳🇮🇷 China's Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun has fired a direct warning at Washington as the US naval blockade of Iranian ports went into effect:
"We are commited for peace & stability in the world. We are monitoring the situation in the middle east. Our ships are moving in and out of the waters of Strait of Hormuz. We have trade & energy agreements with Iran. We will respect & honor them and expect others to not meddle in our affairs. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and it is open for us."
The strait supplies nearly 40% of China's oil and 30% of its LNG needs.
US intelligence has stated China is preparing MANPAD shipments to Iran, China has denied these reports. Trump has threatened 50% tariffs on Beijing if it supplies weapons to Tehran
