A recent meeting between U. S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shed light on a shared strategy to limit Iran's oil exports, particularly to China. This plan is part of a broader effort to apply intense pressure on Iran. China is a major buyer of Iranian oil, taking in over 80% of its exports. This makes China a key player in the situation. If the U. S. can convince China to buy less oil from Iran, it could significantly cut Iran's income.
The U. S. and Iran have been in talks, with Oman acting as a mediator. These talks aim to revive diplomacy between the two countries. At the same time, the U. S. military is preparing for potential long-term operations in the region, showing that the situation is serious. The goal of the U. S. and Israel is to put maximum pressure on Iran. This includes targeting Iran's oil sales to China. The outcome of these efforts remains to be seen, but it's clear that the situation is complex and involves multiple players.
