The Kabul Tribune (KT) — Iran has warned against what it described as “provocative” U.S. military activities in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, raising concerns over regional stability during a phone call with China’s foreign minister.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi made the remarks in a conversation with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi, according to Iranian media reports published the same day.
Araghchi expressed concern over recent U.S. military movements in key maritime routes in the region, saying the deployment of American forces could further complicate the situation and pose a direct threat to regional stability.
He warned that such actions risk escalating tensions in one of the world’s most strategically important waterways.
In response, Wang praised what he described as the “resilience” of the Iranian people amid ongoing tensions and reaffirmed China’s support for diplomatic solutions.
He also expressed Beijing’s readiness to assist in advancing dialogue and reducing tensions in the region, the reports said.
