China and Russia aligned their positions at the UN and reinforce their geopolitical agenda in Hormuz

China and Russia this week intensified their coordination around the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, after a phone call between its foreign ministers, Wang Yi and Sergei Lavrov. The conversation, focused on the vote on a United Nations resolution to protect commercial navigation in the region, highlighted the intention of both countries to consolidate their geopolitical influence while the security of global trade and stability in the Middle East remain at risk

During the call, Wang Yi stated that the solution to navigation problems in the strait depends on an immediate ceasefire and promoted political negotiation as a priority way to resolve the conflict. However, international analysts have questioned China's impartiality, arguing that its foreign policy tends to prioritize strategic and commercial interests over neutral solutions. Beijing has strengthened energy and military agreements in areas of tension, raising questions about its role as a reliable mediator in

the Gulf.

The statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry indicated that both countries agreed to describe the actions of the United States and Israel against Iran as “unprovoked aggression”, in line with Tehran's narrative.

Experts point out that this position reflects more a geopolitical interest in strengthening the influence of Moscow and Beijing in the region than a genuine effort to stabilize maritime traffic and protect civilians affected by the conflict. Their coordination may block or dilute international measures that guarantee the security of trade and navigation in the area

The Strait of Hormuz, through which nearly 20% of the world's oil transits, has suffered partial closures during hostilities, raising alarm in global markets. By supporting Iran while criticizing the United States and Israel, both countries contribute to international polarization and complicate the possibility of reaching consensual agreements in the Security Council.

Despite their calls for dialogue and a ceasefire, the record of both countries reinforces criticism. Russia has shown confrontational positions in conflicts such as those in Ukraine and Syria, while China has used its economic and military power to strengthen its strategic allies, often at the cost of neutrality in conflict zones. Analysts warn that current coordination between Moscow and Beijing could prolong the crisis in the Gulf and hinder effective solutions

The vote on the resolution presented by Bahrain in the Security Council will be a key point in evaluating the influence of China and Russia. Their role reflects the tension between declared diplomacy and geopolitical strategy: although both claim to seek peace, their actions suggest that they seek to reinforce their regional positions rather than guarantee immediate security and stability
