Seyed Hossein Mousavian, a former Iranian diplomat, analyzed the recent dialogue between the Presidents of the United States and China, explaining China's positions regarding Iran. According to him, China has clearly expressed its opposition to the new U.S. economic sanctions against Iran through five important points.
Opposition to Economic Sanctions
China has officially opposed joining the new U.S. economic sanctions campaign, known as "Economic D-Day" and "Operation Economic Isolation of Iran." This action clearly demonstrates China's independent approach in international politics and support for Iran's sovereignty.

Rejection of Media Reports
Furthermore, Mousavian referred to China's rejection of Western media reports regarding military, intelligence, or logistical assistance to Iran. This stance indicates Beijing's unwillingness to intervene militarily in Iranian affairs and shows that the country seeks to maintain its trade and diplomatic relations with Tehran.
Emphasis on Security in the Strait of Hormuz
China has also emphasized the necessity of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, addressing this issue alongside respect for the territorial sovereignty of Iran and Oman and the revival of the Islamabad agreement. These emphases clearly indicate the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz for China and other regional countries and could pave the way for further cooperation in maritime security.
Proposal for Collective Cooperation
China has also called for an end to the U.S. and Israeli wars against Iran and is seeking to establish a framework for "collective cooperation and security" among the eight Gulf countries. This proposal could help reduce tensions and increase security in the region.
Readiness to Facilitate Negotiations
Finally, China has expressed its readiness to facilitate negotiations between Iran and the U.S. and the Gulf countries. This action could play a significant role in improving relations between Iran and its neighbors and contribute to greater stability in the Gulf.
Overall, China's positions indicate that Beijing will also oppose future U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran and seeks to maintain its cordial relations with Tehran. This development could have significant impacts on future international relations and regional security.
