Trump's visit to China and growing tensions with Iran
US President Donald Trump has concluded an official visit to China, which received extensive coverage as a pivotal point in relations between the powers. According to Sputnik Türkiye, the Russian source emphasizing the Eurasian perspective, Trump focused on "trade games" and economic goals, while Beijing tried to stabilize relations. Other reports, including TGRT HABER, note that Trump achieved significant economic commitments, including the purchase of Boeing aircraft, while Trump himself stated that he sees Xi Jinping as an "intelligent" leader (Sondakika Haber Gündem).
At the same time, the front with Iran is boiling. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi attacked the "contradictory messages" of the US in talks at the BRICS forum and claimed that distrust is the main obstacle to diplomacy (Daily Islamist). Araghchi added that Iran is not moved by the military threats, saying: "They fought us for 40 days and saw the results" (Haber Gündem).
On the other hand, the US administration is signaling a hardening of tone. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarified that Iran will not succeed in forcing a "bad deal" on the US (Sputnik Türkiye), and Energy Secretary Chris Wright noted that "the end of the Iranian nuclear program will come sooner or later" (Sondakika Haber Gündem).
Against this background, fear in the region is growing. According to Haber Gündem reports, the security establishment in Israel raised the alert level over the weekend following assessments that Trump might coordinate military action against Iran, this after China offered to help influence Tehran as part of the new diplomatic moves by the American president.
