Iran Says It's Up to U.S. to End War as China Presses for De-Escalation
The comments came as the Houthis launched a new wave of missile and drone attacks on Saudi targets Friday morning.
Iran said it is up to the United States to bring an end to the ongoing conflict, even as China pressed for de-escalation, according to a report by CNBC.
The remarks came as Yemen's Houthi movement launched a new wave of missile and drone attacks targeting Saudi Arabia on Friday morning, adding to regional tensions.
Diplomatic positioning amid escalation
Iran's framing places responsibility for de-escalation squarely on Washington, while China's calls for restraint reflect Beijing's broader interest in regional stability, particularly given its economic ties across the Gulf.
CNBC's report did not specify further details of Iran's statement or the precise diplomatic channels through which China conveyed its position.
The overlapping developments underscore the volatility of the current regional security situation, with multiple powers now publicly weighing in on how the standoff should be resolved.
