China Condemns Trump's Allegations of Military Aid to Iran, Rejects 'Gift from China' Claim

China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, stated that the U.S. allegations were 'without factual basis' and called for the U.S. to stop making 'groundless accusations.' The remarks came in response to Trump's comments during a press briefing, where he suggested that the U.S. had intercepted an Iranian vessel that was allegedly a 'gift from China.' Reuters reported that China specifically rejected Trump's claim that the intercepted ship was a 'gift from China,' emphasizing that such statements were not supported by evidence. The U.S. State Department did not immediately comment on the claim, but the remarks were interpreted as part of a broader strategy to pressure China on its relations with Iran. The Chinese government has consistently maintained that it does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and has urged the U.S. to refrain from making unfounded accusations against China's allies or partners.
