Aragchi

Water and energy infrastructure has become a main deterrence lever for Iran against the United States. Iranian Foreign Minister Aragchi warned Gulf states that striking critical infrastructure would occur if U.S. military strikes continued. Operational history, including debris hitting the Doha West facility and reported attacks on Qeshm Island desalination facilities, confirms this threat.

China is calling for the Strait to be reopened as soon as possible during talks with Iran. Wang Yi is holding discussions with Iranian Foreign Minister Aragchi, who is on his first trip to China since the war began. The goal is to find a resolution to the current situation.
