The Chinese embassy in Amman clarified that the presence of Chinese warships in the Middle East is unrelated to the Gaza escalation, according to reports.

The embassy stated the ships are in the region for peaceful visits and regular training, emphasizing their objective is friendly engagement and cooperation.

While six military vessels are confirmed in the area, social media rumors of power escalation in response to the US naval deployment in the eastern Mediterranean are not accurate.
