China a cerut Iranului să limiteze ofensiva rebelilor houthi din Marea Roșie

China has urged Iran to leverage its influence over Houthi rebels to limit their operations in Yemen and the Red Sea, following Saudi Arabia's request for support. The military advances of the Houthis threaten Saudi oil export routes and China's import flows. While publicly advocating for restraint and dialogue, China has privately communicated with Iran to prevent further conflict escalation. Tehran responded by stating that regional stability relies on ending the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran. Despite strong economic ties, China's influence over Iran has limitations, as dissatisfaction exists regarding Chinese investments outside the oil sector.
