As Vengeful Tehran 'Destroys

As Donald Trump’s Iran war chokes the Strait of Hormuz, Beijing has quietly stepped in to protect its energy lifeline, with multiple diplomatic sources saying China is in talks with Iran to let crude and Qatari LNG tankers pass safely through the war‑zone waterway. While Iran has declared that U.S., Israeli, European and allied vessels are barred from Hormuz, ship‑tracking data shows a bulk carrier named Iron Maiden broadcasting “CHINA OWNER” as it slipped through the strait, underscoring how Chinese‑linked ships are still braving a route where tanker transits have crashed and around 300 vessels are reportedly stuck. China, which relies on Hormuz for a large share of its imported oil and buys the vast majority of Iran’s crude, has called on “all sides” to keep shipping lanes open even as crude prices surge, inflation fears mount, and Trump pledges to deploy the U.S. Navy to escort tankers—moves that highlight how America’s biggest Asian rival is trying to shield its interests without openly joining Tehran’s fight.
