Trump and Xi Agree Iran Must Not Possess Nuclear Weapons
US President Donald Trump announced that he and Chinese President Xi Jinping reached an agreement during talks in Beijing, stating that Iran cannot be allowed to possess nuclear weapons. Trump emphasized that Iran must also re-open the Strait of Hormuz, warning that his patience with Tehran is running out. The closure of the strait by Iran, triggered by US-Israeli attacks starting February 28, has caused significant disruptions to global energy supplies. China, a major buyer of Iranian oil, remains closely involved in the regional dynamics. Concurrently, tensions escalate in the Middle East as Israel threatens further attacks in southern Lebanon, ordering evacuations in five villages ahead of expected strikes. Despite ongoing violations of an April truce by Israel, diplomatic efforts continue, with productive talks between Lebanese and Israeli officials held in Washington. These negotiations mark the beginning of full discussions between the conflicting parties. The situation highlights the complex interplay between great power diplomacy involving the US and China, and active military conflicts in Iran and Lebanon, impacting global stability and energy markets.
