Chinese ship engineer Ye Yungui had never been to Iran before last month. After he celebrated Spring Festival, a repair job brought him to a vessel anchored off Bandar Abbas, home to Iran's most important container port in the Strait of Hormuz. When the US and Israel began strikes on February 28, he heard explosions in the distance and realized he was caught in a war zone. It took him five days just to return to shore, then a 16-hour drive across eastern Iran to reach Turkmenistan, before finally returning to China. As attacks on Iran continue, Ye shared his tumultuous journey with CGTN.
