China maintains a 'stealthily supportive' stance towards Iran, providing quiet assistance without overt actions, because overt support would jeopardize its valuable relations with Arab Gulf countries and incur significant costs. This approach allows China to balance its need for Iranian oil with its broader economic and political interests in the region, especially given the ongoing war and US naval blockade which have already prevented Iran from exporting oil to China.
