China has reportedly been engaging in diplomatic efforts to urge Iran to rein in Houthi attacks in the Red Sea region. According to exclusive sources, Chinese officials have been in discussions with Iranian counterparts in an attempt to address the ongoing conflict between the Houthis and Saudi-backed forces in Yemen.
The Red Sea has been a significant theater of conflict in recent years, with ongoing hostilities between the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition. The situation has further escalated as Houthi attacks on commercial vessels have created concerns about the safety and security of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
