China in talks with Iran to allow safe oil and gas passage through Hormuz, sources say
China is in talks with Iran to allow crude oil and Qatari liquefied natural gas vessels safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz as the U.S.-Israeli war on Tehran intensifies, three diplomatic sources told Reuters.
The war, which entered its sixth day on Thursday, has left the critical shipping passageway all-but shut, with countries around the world cut off from a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies.
China, which has friendly relations with Iran and relies heavily on Middle Eastern supplies, is unhappy about the Islamic Republic's move to paralyse shipping through the Strait and is pressing Tehran to allow safe passage for the vessels, according to the sources.
The world's second-largest economy gets about 45% of its oil from the Strait.
Ship tracking data showed a vessel called the Iron Maiden passed through the Strait overnight after changing its signalling to 'China-owner,' but far more sailings will be needed to calm global markets.
Crude oil prices are up more than 15% since the conflict began amid production stoppages as Tehran attacks energy facilities in the Gulf as well as ships crossing the Strait.
Its missiles have also reached as far afield as Cyprus, Azerbaijan and Turkey, destabilising global markets and prompting major economies to warn about inflation risks.
Crude tanker transits through the strait fell to four vessels on March 1, the day after hostilities broke out, versus an average of 24 a day since January, Vortexa vessel-tracking data showed.
Around 300 oil tankers remain inside the Strait, according to Vortexa and ship tracker Kpler.
Sugar industry veteran Mike McDougall told Reuters that Middle East sugar executives say there are some ships transiting the Strait at the moment, all of which are either Chinese or Iranian-owned.

Iran's underground ‘missile cities’ strategy becomes a disadvantage for regime
The WSJ reports that Iran’s "missile cities" have become a strategic liability. Constant drone monitoring and neutralized air defenses have allowed the US and Israel to slash Iranian launches by 86%.
The Islamic Republic's "missile cities" strategy, once seen as a significant advantage in case of an armed conflict, has become its biggest weakness during the current conflict with Israel and the US, as what used to be a mobile platform difficult to target now became a predictable target easy to locate, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.
According to the report, the US and Israel entered a phase in their operations -called Operation Epic Fury and Operation Roaring Lion respectively- where there is no need to use manned vehicles to monitor the underground facilities of the regime to strike their positions when they prepare launchers.
With Iran's air defenses almost neutralized, Israel and the US are now reportedly using drones to monitor a dozen known underground missile facilities and only deploy manned fighter jets to destroy the launchers once activity is detected near their exits.
