China's representative to the United Nations has directly attributed the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to the United States and Israel. The official stated the reason for the strategic waterway's shutdown is "the illegal military operations launched by Washington and Tel Aviv." This public accusation at the UN marks a significant diplomatic escalation, framing the crisis as a consequence of Western and Israeli actions rather than Iranian policy. The statement aligns China more explicitly with Iran's narrative on the regional conflict.
