US blockade of Iran ports 'irresponsible and dangerous', China says

from dc · host Salai Dawtcemsang

China, the biggest buyer of Iranian oil, has described the American blockade as 'irresponsible' while the IMF is warning that the global economy could slip into recession because of the Iran war. Also on the programme: Israel and Lebanon have held direct talks for the first time in decades, to discuss the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah; and we hear about the return of a centuries‑old stone carving of the Zimbabwe bird - the country's sacred national emblem.(A vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, Credit: Reuters)
