China’s support for launching a naval alliance between Iran and the countries of the region

According to the report of Fars News Agency, “Wang Wenbin”, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, welcomed the establishment of a naval alliance between Iran and other countries in the region in a daily press conference.

A reporter asked Wang: “Reports indicate that the commander of the Iranian Navy said that his country along with Saudi Arabia, the UAE and other Gulf countries [فارس] They plan to launch a naval coalition that includes India and Pakistan to protect the stability of the region. America said that such a coalition is not compatible with logic. Do you have an opinion?

The spokesman of the Chinese diplomatic service said: “Maintaining the peace and stability of the Gulf region.” [فارس] In the Middle East, it has an effect on the well-being of the people of that region and is of vital importance in maintaining world peace, increasing economic growth and maintaining stability in energy supply.

He added: “China supports the resolution of disputes between countries in the region and the strengthening of good neighborliness and friendship through dialogue and consultation.” We also support that the countries of the region seek stability through solidarity and keep their future in their own hands.”

The spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry said: “China, as a good friend to the countries of the region, will continue to play a constructive and positive role in promoting peace and stability in the region.”

Admiral Shahram Irani said in a television interview yesterday (Saturday): “Today, the countries of the region have reached the point that if security is to be established in the region, it can be done and established through synergy and cooperation.”

Referring to the naval alliance of Iran, Russia and China, the Commander of the Navy said: “This tripartite alliance with Russia and China, in which we hold exercises every year, is developing. In addition, regional coalitions are being formed.”

He continued: “Soon we will witness that our region will be freed from any unjustified force and the people of the region will be dominant in their security field by using their soldiers.”

In response to a question about which countries are requesting to be present in a joint regional action with Iran, the Iranian admiral said: “We previously had a joint action with Oman, and now Saudi Arabia has made this goal and entered it. Is. UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, Pakistan and India are among these countries.

He added: “Almost all the countries of the northern Indian Ocean region have come to believe that they should stand by the Islamic Republic of Iran and jointly establish security with significant synergy.”

The statements of the Iranian admiral have angered American officials. An American official claimed a few days ago that the formation of such a coalition does not fit with logic.

Tim Hawkins, the spokesman of the US 5th Fleet, said a few days ago: “It does not make sense that Iran, the number one factor in regional instability, claims that it wants to form a maritime security coalition to protect the waters it threatens.” .

Claiming that Iran has attacked or seized 15 international-flagged commercial ships in the past two years alone, the US military official added: “Actions are important and that is why we are working with our partners. We are strengthening the defense around the Strait of Hormuz.
