Iran and China Declare Ties Stable Amid US Maximum Pressure Campaign
🐉 BEIJING — China's reassurance lands as Iran's sanctions math turns against it. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Tehran publicly affirming ties are "stable" signals Beijing hasn't pulled back despite US secondary sanctions pressure on Chinese crude buyers. That matters now: with tanker revenue collapsing and domestic fuel prices rising, China's offtake is Tehran's primary economic survival line. If Beijing holds, Washington's squeeze slows. If it's hedging, Iran's pain threshold arrives sooner than IRGC hardliners expect.
