U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Chinese President Xi Jinping assured him Beijing is not sending any weapons to Iran. Trump made the remarks while speaking to reporters at the White House, describing Xi’s assurance as a positive commitment and expressing his trust and appreciation for the Chinese leader’s words.

The statement follows reports from the previous month claiming that China was planning to send weapons to Iran, allegations that Beijing dismissed as baseless. Trump’s comments suggest that direct communication between the United States and China continues over the Iran issue, despite tensions and speculation in international media.

Analysts cited in the report indicated that this exchange could serve as a diplomatic signal aimed at preventing further complications in the Middle East situation, reflecting ongoing engagement between Washington and Beijing on sensitive regional matters.
