Iran’s Dual Approach Amid U.S.-China Summit: Trump Assassination Bill vs. Easing Hormuz Blockade (Comprehensive)

Iran is simultaneously pursuing a dual strategy regarding the Strait of Hormuz, reviewing a bill offering a bounty for U.S. President Trump's assassination while also approving the passage of certain Chinese vessels through the waterway. This move reflects a response to growing cooperation between the U.S. and China over keeping the Strait open. Analysts view this as a pressure tactic against the U.S. government, which is preparing a military operation to open the Strait.
