Chinese officials are putting pressure on their Iranian counterparts to assist in getting the Houthis to stop their attacks on vessels in the Red Sea, Reuters news agency reports.
Beijing has threatened to limit trade between China and Iran if Tehran doesn’t comply, according to the report, which cites four anonymous Iranian sources and a diplomat close to the issue.
“Basically, China says: ‘If our interests are harmed in any way, it will impact our business with Tehran. So tell the Houthis to show restraint’,” one Iranian official said.
