President Trump conveyed to Chinese President Xi Jinping that any Chinese support for Tehran is completely unacceptable, according to U.S. Ambassador to China David Rank. The message underscores Washington's determination to isolate Iran diplomatically and economically as the regime continues its pursuit of regional influence.
The warning comes amid ongoing tensions between Washington and Beijing over Iran's regional activities. For Israel, the U.S. effort to cut off Chinese backing for Tehran represents a critical front in containing the Iranian threat, as Beijing has emerged as one of the regime's few remaining major economic partners.
