China Warns of 'Uncontrollable' Situation - Russia Opposes Strait of Hormuz Blockade

China has warned that the situation in the Middle East risks becoming "uncontrollable" if Donald Trump carries out his threat to destroy Iranian power plants. China stressed that the use of violence will lead to a vicious cycle and that war should not have started in the first place. At the same time, Russia opposes any blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, but notes that these issues must be considered in the context of the broader global situation. Russia also expressed hope that the United States will show common sense and not threaten the Bushehr nuclear plant. These warnings come at a time of tension, following Trump's threat and Iran's refusal to open the Strait of Hormuz.
