"Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism, and China has been buying 90 percent of their energy, so they are funding the largest state sponsor of terrorism, Bessent told Fox News."
"We are reopening it. So I would urge the Chinese to join us in supporting this international operation, Bessent said."
"We have absolute control of the strait, he added. Still, the secretary of the US Treasury suggested that China should use its leverage over Iran to help resolve the crisis."
"Let's see them step up with some diplomacy and get the Iranians to open the strait, he said."
Scott Bessent criticized China for funding Iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorism, by purchasing 90 percent of its energy. He called on China to assist the US in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which has been blocked by Iran's attacks. Bessent emphasized that the US has absolute control over the strait and urged China to leverage its relationship with Iran to resolve the crisis. He also noted that China and Russia vetoed a UN resolution condemning Iran's blockade, claiming it was one-sided and did not address US and Israeli actions against Iran.
