China's Conditions Cause Dispute in Tehran
The office of Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament and Special Envoy for China, confirmed that China has not imposed any conditions on Tehran regarding Ghalibaf’s visit or the development of bilateral relations. This statement was in response to comments by Hussein Marashi, who cited Chinese sources as stating there is a list of four demands. The office clarified that relations with Beijing are based on mutual respect and shared interests, and that cooperation continues. It also called on the media not to publish unconfirmed interpretations that could threaten Iran-China relations. At the same time, Iranian officials from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Interior denied the existence of Chinese conditions, reaffirming both countries' commitment to strengthening their relationship. These statements come amid political tension within the Iranian regime, where media outlets aligned with conservatives criticized Marashi’s remarks and emphasized that Iran and China’s interests remain unaffected by internal disagreements. They stressed that Beijing is seeking clarification from Iran without imposing demands regarding the continuation of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and security and strategic issues, amid Washington’s increasing pressure on China and its companies linked to Iran.
