Iran has stated that US President Donald Trump visited China to seek Beijing’s help in pressuring Iran but did not secure the result sought, according to Iran.
China made it clear that it stands with Iran and not with the United States.
Iran further said that the world has now changed and no country is ready to submit to American pressure anymore. A new balance of power is visibly emerging in the Middle East.
Source and verification
The account of Trump’s visit and China’s response is presented as an Iranian government claim. No Chinese transcript confirming every characterization was cited in the original brief.
Why it matters
China’s position matters because Beijing is a major diplomatic and economic partner of both Iran and the United States.
