<\/a>China Warns Against Foreign \u2018Interference\u2019 in Iran as Trump Mulls Response to Regime Crackdown<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nAlgemeiner Staff<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n China on Monday expressed hope that the Iranian regime would \u201covercome\u201d the current\u00a0anti-government protests sweeping the country<\/a>, warning against foreign \u201cinterference\u201d as US President Donald Trump considered how to respond to Iran\u2019s deadly crackdown on nationwide protests.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cChina hopes the Iranian government and people will overcome the current difficulties and uphold stability in the country,\u201d Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told reporters during a press conference.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cChina always opposes interference in other countries\u2019 internal affairs, advocates that all countries\u2019 sovereignty and security should be fully protected by international law, and opposes the use or threat of force in international relations,\u201d she continued. \u201cWe call on parties to act in ways conducive to peace and stability in the Middle East.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The comments came as\u00a0Iran continued to face fierce demonstrations<\/a>, which began on Dec. 28 over economic hardships but escalated into large-scale protests calling for the downfall of the country\u2019s Islamist regime.<\/span><\/p>\n If the regime in Tehran was seriously weakened or potentially collapsed, it would present a problem for a strategic partner of Beijing.<\/span><\/p>\n China, a key diplomatic and economic backer of Tehran, has moved to deepen ties with the regime in recent years, signing a 25-year cooperation agreement,\u00a0holding joint naval drills<\/a>, and continuing to purchase Iranian oil despite US sanctions.<\/span><\/p>\n China is the largest importer of Iranian oil, with nearly 90 percent of Iran\u2019s crude and condensate exports going to Beijing. Traders and analysts have said that Chinese reliance on Iranian oil will likely increase and replace Venezuelan oil after US forces captured Venezuela\u2019s President Nicolas Maduro earlier this month.<\/span><\/p>\n Iran\u2019s\u00a0growing ties with China<\/a>\u00a0come at a time when Tehran faces mounting economic sanctions from Western powers, while Beijing itself is also under US sanctions.<\/span><\/p>\n According to some media reports, China may be even helping Iran rebuild its decimated air defenses following the 12-day war with Israel in June.<\/span><\/p>\n The extent of China\u2019s partnership with Iran may be tested as the latter comes under\u00a0increased international scrutiny<\/a>\u00a0over its violent crackdown on anti-regime protests.<\/span><\/p>\n US-based rights group HRANA said by late Monday it had verified the deaths of 646 people, including 505 protesters, 113 military and security personnel, and seven bystanders. The group added that it was investigating 579 more reported deaths and that, since the demonstrations began,10,721 people have been arrested.<\/span><\/p>\n Other reports indicated the number of protesters killed by the regime numbers were well into the thousands, but with the regime imposing an internet blackout since Thursday, verification has been difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n Trump has said\u00a0he will intervene against the regime<\/a>\u00a0if security forces continue killing protesters. Adding to threats of military action, Trump late on Monday announced that any country doing business with Iran will face a new tariff of 25 percent on its exports to the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis order is final and conclusive,\u201d he said in a social media post.<\/span><\/p>\n According to reports, Trump was to meet with senior advisers on Tuesday to discuss options for\u00a0Iran, including military strikes, using cyber weapons, widening sanctions, and providing online help to anti-government sources.<\/span><\/p>\n Iran has warned that any military action would be met with force in response.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cLet us be clear: in the case of an attack on\u00a0Iran, the occupied territories [Israel] as well as all US bases and ships will be our legitimate target,\u201d Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf\u00a0told a crowd in Tehran\u2019s Enqelab Square on Monday, adding that Iranians were fighting a four-front war: \u201ceconomic war, psychological warfare, military war against the US and Israel, and today a war against terrorism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n However, the White House stressed that Trump hopes to find a diplomatic resolution.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDiplomacy is always the first option for the president,\u201d White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhat you\u2019re hearing publicly from the\u00a0Iranian regime is quite different from the messages the administration is receiving privately, and I think the president has an interest in exploring those messages,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told Al Jazeera that he and US envoy Steve Witkoff have been in contact.<\/span><\/p>\n Trump said on Sunday the US could meet\u00a0Iranian officials and he was in contact with\u00a0Iran\u2019s opposition.<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> China Warns Against Foreign \u2018Interference\u2019 in Iran as Trump Mulls Response to Regime Crackdown Algemeiner Staff A demonstrator lights a cigarette with fire from a burning picture of Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei outside the Iranian embassy during a rally in support of nationwide protests in Iran, in London, Britain, Jan. 12, 2026.
