China calls US blockade of Iran ports ‘dangerous and irresponsible’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleChina says that a US blockade around Iranian ports is “dangerous and irresponsible,” after US President Donald Trump threatened to sink any boats that seek to leave or dock there.
“The US increased military operations and took a targeted blockade action, which will only exacerbate tensions and undermine the already fragile ceasefire agreement and further jeopardize safety of passage through the Strait,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun tells a news conference, adding “this is dangerous and irresponsible behavior.”
