Iran’s Araghchi holds talks with China’s Wang Yi in Beijing

Iran's Foreign Minister has arrived in Beijing for talks with his Chinese counterpart, amid tensions with the United States in the Strait of Hormuz. The meeting comes ahead of a US President's scheduled visit to Beijing for a summit with China's President. Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz after the war began, causing global energy prices to rise. The US imposed its own blockade on Iranian ports in a bid to compel Tehran to agree to Washington's terms in peace talks
