China has criticised the US blockade of Iranian ports, calling it “irresponsible and dangerous”. Beijing said the move could harm the fragile ceasefire and risk ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The blockade began after talks between the US and Iran failed in Pakistan. Donald Trump said it aims to pressure Iran over its nuclear programme. China warned the action could affect global trade and its oil supply. It urged all sides to respect the ceasefire and return to talks. Meanwhile, Iran called the blockade a violation of its sovereignty and warned of rising tensions. (PC: Reuters)
