伊朗外交部表示，需要強調的是，航運安全和海上貿易自由應當得到所有人的保障，所有國家都應能夠從中受益。你不能一方面攻擊某個國家或某些國家，對其實施海上封鎖，另一方面又單方面要求這些國家充當維護海上航運安全的“守衛者”。因此，伊朗對地區所有國家的建議是：看清現實，避免推諉責任和毫無根據地指責他人，如果確實希望解決問題的話，就應該如此。因爲不斷重複某些說法和指控，最終可能導致指控者自己也相信這些說法，進而在尋找問題解決方案時出現誤判。

Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a regular briefing on the 14th that recent escalation in Yemen and the Red Sea has caused civilian casualties and damage to energy and other civilian facilities, and that China is deeply concerned. He called attacks on civilian infrastructure unacceptable, said regional instability runs counter to all parties' interests and that sovereign security should be respected. Guo urged relevant parties to exercise restraint, pursue communication and dialogue, and resolve disputes by political and diplomatic means to defuse the situation quickly.
