Xi Calls for Immediate End to Middle East Hostilities in Talks With Putin
🕊️ BEIJING — Xi told Trump and Putin to end it. Only one of them controls Tehran. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Xi's public call for immediate end to hostilities — issued to Putin, not Washington — signals Beijing is performing peace posture for both superpowers simultaneously. It costs nothing: Putin doesn't control Iran's ceasefire terms. But it lets Xi claim diplomatic leadership while delivering no pressure on Tehran. Watch whether this becomes cover for blocking a UN Security Council resolution.
