BEIJING, Jan 26 (Reuters) - ⁠China's vice ⁠president ‍and foreign minister held talks with the secretary-general of the 57-nation ‍Organization of Islamic Cooperation on Monday, ​according to a ministry statement and the official ​news agency, Xinhua.

The talks in the Chinese capital of Beijing come amid heightened Middle East tension after an ​Iranian official said the country would treat any attack "as an all-out war ​against us".

Those comments followed U.S. President Donald Trump's remark the ‌previous day that the United States had an "armada" heading toward Iran, adding ​it was "just in case", ⁠warning Iran not to kill protesters or restart its nuclear program.

An ‌Iranian official in the region said on Sunday at least 5,000 were killed after a ‌wave of protest over economic hardship.

In Monday's talks, ‌Foreign Minister Wang Yi called for the building of a regional security partnership and the political settlement ‍of hot-spot issues, the ministry said.

U.S. officials had said an aircraft ⁠carrier and several guided-missile destroyers would arrive in the Middle East in the coming days.
