US Iran War Live Updates: US envoy criticises China over alleged support for Iran and Houthis
Mike Waltz, the US ambassador to the United Nations, accused China of failing to do enough to stop the flow of goods to Iran and the Houthis that could have military as well as civilian applications. Addressing the UN Security Council in prepared remarks, Waltz said, “States like Iran, and to some degree companies and entities in China, have violated [a UN resolution imposing an arms embargo on the Houthis] with little consequence.” During a heated exchange with his Chinese counterpart, Waltz clarified that he was referring to “dual-use” items and “satellite imagery” provided to “Iran and the Houthis… that, of course, have civilian uses, but also have been used to threaten our partners, civilian aircraft, and commercial shipping”.
