Iran has called China a “true friend” and urged Beijing to help guarantee regional peace, but Chinese analysts remain cautious about taking on such a role, according to the report.

Iranian envoy Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli said Tehran wants global powers, including China and Russia, to ensure the United States does not resume military action.

The remarks came after President Donald Trump announced a two-week pause in strikes to allow ceasefire talks. According to South China Morning Post, negotiations are set to begin in Pakistan, with Iran pushing conditions such as sanctions relief.

Fazli warned that Iran would retaliate strongly if the U.S. breaks its commitments. He also said thousands of ships remain stalled near the Strait of Hormuz, with full reopening dependent on talks.

Chinese analysts said Beijing is unlikely to act as a formal guarantor, citing risks and costs. China may instead play a diplomatic or mediating role in easing tensions.
