The assertion that both China and Iran agree that the situation in the Red Sea has evolved into the current unsolvable situation needs further information to support it. The U.S. did act to some extent against the Houthis in Iran and Saudi Arabia.
As the situation in the Red Sea region continues to deteriorate, the United States has called on China to help it find Iran in order to force the Houthis in Yemen to stop their offensive. Judging from the information received by Iran, China did have a dialogue with Iran, but it did not go as smoothly as the United States expected.
According to Iranian reports, Iran's *** spokesman Kanaani commented on this, saying that China did exchange views with Iran on the situation in the Red Sea region, but China did not send a message to the United States. Kanaani said that if you want to know what China thinks on the matter, you can ask a spokeswoman for China instead of those unfounded rumors.
At the same time, Iran also stressed that China and Iran have reached a unanimous and clear consensus on the Red Sea issue: the development of the situation in the Red Sea is a ripple in Gaza. At the same time, Kanaani also revealed an important news, that is, Iran has been negotiating with China.
Kanaani's remark reveals a lot of information, one is that it confirms the ongoing exchanges between China and Iran, and the other is that it is beneficial for both China and Iran in light of the changes in the international situation. On the other hand, he reacted positively to the U.S. response to China's involvement and control of the situation in the Red Sea.
The Western world has begun to hype about this, including Blinken of the United States, as well as senior officials such as Deputy Sullivan of the United States, who have told China about this. The British news agency Reuters also published an article called "scoop", claiming that China had agreed to the U.S. request for a truce between Iran and the Houthis. Under such an onslaught of information, no one can say what happened.
But when Iran made a statement, everything became clear. Although the United States wants to involve China, they have no intention of doing so. And the news that is called "exclusive" by the West** is just some fake news made up in order to confuse the public eye. In other words, the Biden administration can abandon this idea entirely.
In fact, on the Red Sea issue, China has made many statements, and the message expressed is also very clear. Wang Wenbin, a spokesman for China's first country, said that the Red Sea region is an important channel for trading commodities and energy, and that China does not want to see tensions in the Red Sea region, and also asked not to harass civilian ships. These remarks are a counterattack to the Houthis in Yemen on the Red Sea, and to be fair, it is not a wise choice for the Houthis to launch an attack on a civilian ship. However, given that the Houthis have been emphasizing that they will not attack the Chinese and ** ships, this shows that they still have a clear understanding of some issues.
At the same time, a Chinese spokesman said that all parties concerned should genuinely respect the sovereignty of the Red Sea region, including Yemen, because the United Nations Security Council has not given other countries the authority to attack Yemeni territory. This is an obvious allusion to the leading role of the United States in the fight against the Houthis. China is warning the United States that it has gone too far in some things, and fanning the flames is not conducive to the stability of the overall situation. Indeed, the U.S.-led military campaign has not eased pressure on the region, but has provoked a greater Houthi counterattack.
More importantly, China has repeatedly stated that the Red Sea issue is only a manifestation of the Palestinian-Israeli contradictions, and the two cannot be separated. Obviously, the United States and other Western countries also have this in mind, separating the Red Sea crisis from the Palestinian-Israeli situation, and such an approach will not work at all.
In short, everyone knows that China will not send a message to the United States to let Iran intervene in this war. But now, the Iranian side has completely shattered the hopes of the United States.
The United States has already shifted the blame to Iran, saying they are allies of the Houthis and have also launched attacks in the Red Sea. Iran, on the other hand, firmly disagrees with the United States, arguing that the Red Sea incident has nothing to do with Iran and that the Houthis acted completely voluntarily and not by Iran. In the eyes of the United States, Iran's response is likely to be a refusal to cooperate. And the latest incident has made the relationship between the two countries even more tense, almost on the verge of breaking out.
A U.S. team base in Jordan was attacked over the weekend, and more than 30 people were injured. This is the first incident in which an American person was killed since the Palestinian-Israeli war, which has aroused widespread concern from the international community. As soon as the United States came up, it took a tough stance, and Biden, Secretary of Defense Austin and others have expressed their stance that they want to fight back against this war.
Not only that, but the United States also blames Iran, claiming that Iran has provided support to militant groups that attack the US team. However, just one day later, the reaction of the United States took a 180-degree turn, and it did not intend to go to war with Iran while still claiming that it would react to it.
The reaction of the Americans is a little puzzled. Americans know that they are a man who will be revenged, and at the same time, they have made moves. The U.S. side dispatched six large tanker planes immediately after last weekend's attack and reached Britain as soon as possible.
As the saying goes, "soldiers don't have blood, food and grass go first", and some analysts speculate that this may be that the United States is brewing a large-scale air strike against the US Air Force, waiting for Biden to give the order and immediately launch a counterattack. But who exactly it is, only the United States knows.
It should be said that the situation in the Middle East had a considerable impact on the United States, and three American soldiers were killed in this incident, forcing the Biden administration to make a quick decision. For the United States, fighting a recalcitrant Iran may be a good option.
