China's Foreign Minister Pressed Iran on Strait of Hormuz Reopening Days Before Trump-Xi Summit

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, urging the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. This move reflects concerns about the unstable energy market following the U.S.-Israel war and China's energy security. China is offering economic support to Iran while promising to defend against U.S. sanctions, engaging in diplomatic efforts ahead of the U.S.-China summit.
