China’s Wang Yi calls on Iran to ensure freedom and safe passage through strait
Wang Yi said the waterway handles nearly one-fifth of global oil trade and urged uninterrupted navigation as US-Iran talks stalled.
- On Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang urged Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi to ensure safe navigation through the Strait, marking Beijing's first appeal since Tehran tightened control over the corridor.
- Following US-Israeli strikes, Iran closed the Strait, an action that combined with a United States naval blockade of Iranian ports to intensify global energy disruptions.
- While emphasizing that Iran's sovereignty must be respected, Wang urged uninterrupted international navigation; Araghchi expressed hope for China's constructive role and said Iran remained open to a "rational and realistic" resolution.
- A Pakistani delegation led by Field Marshal Asim Munir arrived in Tehran to explore proposals for a round of US-Iran talks, expected to be held in Islamabad.
- Negotiations remain at a "critical stage" between conflict and de-escalation, with recent talks stalled over divisions regarding Iran's nuclear program and the status of the Strait.
