U.S.-Israel Pact: Maximum Pressure on Iran's Oil to China

In a strategic meeting at the White House, President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reached an agreement to pressure Iran by reducing its oil exports to China, according to sources from Axios. This aligns with the U.S.'s maximum pressure strategy.

The plan centers on curtailing Iran's oil revenue, as China constitutes more than 80% of Iran's oil market. In response, China emphasized the legitimacy of its economic relations within the framework of international law.

Diplomatic efforts continue with U.S. and Iranian negotiators exploring avenues to revive the nuclear treaty, even as American naval forces position themselves for potential prolonged operations in the region.
