Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): At the same time as the administration of Donald Trump is trying to implement the naval blockade of Iran in the hope of the country's surrender, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China today (Tuesday) described this action by Washington as a "dangerous, irresponsible and escalating move" and considered a complete ceasefire as the only solution to the crisis in the West Asian region.
According to the report of Al Jazeera, Beijing also called the claims about sending weapons to Iran "completely fake and slanderous" and counter-warned against the imposition of new tariffs by the United States.
Referring to the deployment of American ships to blockade Iran, the spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry described this action as a "dangerous and irresponsible action" and warned: "The deployment of American ships to close the Strait of Hormuz is a dangerous action and will fuel the escalation of tensions." "The expansion of the US military presence [in the region] will only lead to the deterioration of the situation."
Beijing emphasized that the blockade of Iran's ports and the strengthening of the US military presence in the region will not only help to solve the crisis, but will also make the flames of war even more flaming.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry continued its statements, rejecting the logic of militarism, and clearly stated that "a complete ceasefire is the only solution to reduce the severity of the crisis in the Middle East."
While inviting all parties involved to respect the current fragile ceasefire, Beijing called for an "immediate return to peace talks and taking practical steps to reduce tension in order to ensure the safety of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China warned about the situation in the region and announced: "The situation is now at a very critical and decisive crossroads. "We will do our best to help restore peace and stability in the Middle East."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China strongly rejected the claims made by American officials regarding the export of Chinese military equipment to Iran and called it "slander and lies" and "completely fabricated and baseless".
Beijing also warned, referring to Washington's tariff threats: "If new tariffs [by the US] are applied against us, China will respond with countermeasures."
