Therefore, Chinese officials are urgently demanding that Iranian officials do not strike major energy exporters like Qatar, Bloomberg reports, citing top managers of Chinese state energy companies.
Also, according to them, Beijing is asking not to attack oil and LNG tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz, and not to block it, so as not to hinder energy supplies. At the moment, at least five commercial vessels are known to have been damaged by Iranian fire. Shipping in the strait has practically ceased.
Iran will "burn" all foreign vessels that try to pass through it, Ibrahim Jabari, an advisor to the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, stated earlier.
According to him, Tehran is also ready to "strike all oil pipelines in the region" to stop oil exports from the Middle East. The Strait of Hormuz remains open for civilian shipping, despite IRGC statements, insists the US Central Command.
