The Iranian threat of closing the Strait of Ormuz, the artery, where a fifth of world sea oil and gas flows, He released an energetic reaction from China, The fact that this Monday needed to double the efforts to maintain world economic stability. In the context of the maximum tension after the US attack on Iranian nuclear institutions, a representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, Go Jiakun, warned that escalation in the Persian Gulf This can strangle global trade, with catastrophic consequences.
“The stability and safety of the region are a common advantage for all countries,” said GO in the appearance of the press, emphasizing the role of the strait as a vital axis for hydrocarbons. The proposal of the Iranian parliament, still waiting for the Venetia of the Supreme Council on National Security, lit a alarm in the market, already convulsive in Washington, which influenced sites under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (OIEA). Chinese official condemned these actions as “Housing violation” of the UN letter, Accusing his rivals of fanatika halfvorin from the Middle East.
In the motion organized with Russia and Pakistan, the Xi Jinping regime presented the UN Security Council, which is necessary for the “direct and unconditional” fire between Iran, Israel and the United States. The gob urged to set priorities in the dialogue as the only way to soften the conflict, avoiding directly responding to the statements of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who called on Beijing to mediate in order to avoid the closure of Ormus. This caution reflects the position of China, which, as the second large consumer of oil in the world – with 40% of its imports from the bay, according to the administration of energy information – seeks to protect its strategic interests without prejudice to their neutrality.
The strait, where millions of barrels of daily oil travel, is the spine of global energy trade. Clogging can shoot raw oil prices at a historical level, drowning the economy, depending on energy stability. Beijing, realizing his vulnerability, is committed to pragmatic mediation, again positioning the peacekeeper and as a counterweight to Western militaryness.
The train challenges the West
While the Persian bay is trembling under the Iranian threat of closing the aforementioned corridor, China defended his access to a raw freight trip, which at the end of May burst into the dry port of Afrin, near Tehran, opening an iron route, which is dynamite of US sanctions. This minimum route, sealed for 400,000 million US dollars along the route, and the initiative, on the route, and the initiative, and this initiative, sealed for $ 400,000 million, on the route, and the initiative sealed for 400,000 million US dollars on the route, and the initiative sealed for 400,000 million US dollars. Strengthens the axis of Chinese Irani, and also challenges the Western siege in the east, not far from the edge of the collapse.
The convoy, which sailed from XI’an and crossed 10,399 kilometers to Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan in just 15 days, reduces half of 30-40 days of marine routes. The train, loaded with solar panels, is a “steel artery” that allows Iran to export a million barrels of oil to China – their largest client – Pekin is already imported, without crossing Malaki Strait, Eurasian times.
The route, the embryo of the Chinese wrapper corridor through Uzbekistan and the Turkic, eludes the instability of the Red Sea, where the attacks of the police caused 30%sea loads, according to analysts. For Beijing, which imports 40% of his oil in the Persian Gulf, Iran is a stronghold before possible American blockages against Saudi Arabia or Emirates. Meanwhile, Tehran is mocking the sanctions that reduced their oil revenue by 50% since 2018, according to the entire World Bank, consolidating the axis that emphasizes the Western domain.
Geopolitically, the train is a check. The Chinese alliance of Irani, which “paralyzes” the US Navy in the Red Sea, according to Eurasian times, increases Iran’s control over the disputed space, where 20% of the world is oil. Meanwhile, India threatens his project in the Iranian port of Chabahar, who in 2026 will connect 700 kilometers of the railway with Zachedan, before the Chinese advancement to Guadar, and the key node in Pakistan. Experts warn that this “golden belt” – China, Iran, Pakistan, Russia, Türkiye – can marginalize New Deliy.
USA compress the siege in Iran and China
Washington doubled his offensive to trade between these two powers, unleashing the battery of sanctions that tend to strangle Tehran and stop his union with Beijing. Thus, on March 20, the Chinese oil terminal Huaying Huizhou Daya Bay Petrachemical was authorized for the acquisition of Iranian raw oil from a ship under the American veto, according to the Ministry of Treasury. Just ten days later, on April 1, the White House punished six organizations and two people in Iran, the United Arab Emirates and China for assisting key components for Iranian programs of ballistic drones and missiles, vital for their military strategy.
“Iran depends on China on destabilizing activities in the Middle East,” said the State Department, accusing the Chinese Communist Party and the signatures of the Asian giant of providing “economic and technical support”, which feeds regional instability and the threat to us allies by the Allies The achievements of Tehran in the field of ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicleswho raised their influence from Yemen to Syria. “We expose and dismantled Iranian plans with sanctions to organizations in third countries that support their weapon program,” Washington warned.
