Spain has asked China to intervene and resolve the Iran war as Donald Trump continues attacking NATO allies.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez asked China to intervene during a visit to Beijing, saying, “I find it very difficult to find other negotiators, beyond China, who can resolve this situation in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz”.
Sanchez met Chinese President during his visit Xi JinpingThose who called for protecting multilateralism and warned against what he described as a global slide toward the “law of the jungle” were reported by Newsweek.
Sánchez has frequently criticized US and Israeli military actions in the Middle East and Iran. He also recently barred US forces from using Spanish airspace and bases targeting Iran.
Two days ago, China threatened the US on the Strait of Hormuz following the blockade initiated by Donald Trump. The stern warning came as China reminded the US that it has an energy deal with Iran and hence its ships will not be stopped.
A Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman said, “Chinese ships continue to move through the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. We have trade and energy agreements with Iran, which we will respect and abide by. We expect others not to interfere in our affairs. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and has opened it to us.”
Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiaqun said: “China hopes that the parties concerned will abide by the temporary ceasefire arrangements, remain committed to resolving disputes through political and diplomatic means, and avoid the resumption of hostilities.”
Spain’s request to China comes after US President donald trump Another attack on its NATO allies.
Writing on Truth Social, he expressed his anger towards NATO for refusing to participate in offensive attacks against Iran and in one of his posts he wrote: “NATO was not for us, and they will not be for us in the future!”
He has also previously described the refusal of a defensive alliance as “shameful” and criticized British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for his response to the war in Iran.
