FEATURE | US-China summit focuses on Iran as Hormuz incidents increase again

The US and Chinese leaders discussed the Iran war and the Strait of Hormuz during a summit, agreeing on the need to keep the strait open and prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Recent incidents, including the sinking of an Indian vessel and a British ship being steered towards Iran, have heightened tensions.
