China and Pakistan Jointly Call for US-Iran Dialogue Resumption

🐉 BEIJING — China steps public as Pakistan's mediation runs out of road. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Beijing joining Islamabad's call is China's first overt diplomatic move in this war. It can't be ignored — P5 veto, Iran's top oil buyer. But "resume dialogue" without conditions targets Washington, not Tehran. China wants Hormuz stabilized before supply costs calcify into permanent restructuring of its energy chain. Timing — hours before Trump's address — is not accidental.
