3 Reasons Why China Is Playing Peacemaker In Israel-Iran War Started By US President Trump
China has stepped in as a mediator in the US-Israel-Iran conflict, driven by its own strategic and economic survival. China's goal is to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ensure the safe passage of civilian and commercial vessels, while also protecting its own energy security and trade interests.
China has officially maintained a neutral stance in the US-Israel-Iran war, but its actions lean toward supporting Iran's sovereignty.
