In these diplomatic moves, China, relying on its position as a permanent member of the Security Council, is trying to pave the way for an end to conflicts and a return to stability in the Middle East through political initiatives and coordination with regional and international actors; An effort that has become doubly important in the context of the growing threat to global energy security and disruption of vital corridors.

Within the framework of its legal right to self-defense, Iran targeted the occupied territories and American bases in the region and prevented ships affiliated with Tel Aviv and Washington from passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
