US EditionTrump says Iran war is 'very close to being over' as peace talks are expected to resume
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump revealed he wrote to Chinese President Xi Jinping asking him to stop arming Iran; Xi responded in a letter that China is not supplying weapons to Tehran ahead of their May summit.
- Iran's Revolutionary Guards continue to block the Strait of Hormuz, constraining about 20% of global oil shipments, as traffic through the waterway has dropped to a fraction of the 130 daily crossings seen before the conflict began.
- The U.S. military enacted a blockade on shipping leaving Iranian ports after ceasefire talks failed last weekend, completely halting sea trade; Trump previously threatened a 50% tariff on any country found supplying weapons to the Iranian government.
- Publicly addressing the conflict, Xi told Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez that "the international order is crumbling into disarray" while urging restraint, though Beijing maintains it does not ship arms to Tehran.
- Despite these geopolitical strains, mid-May plans for a high-profile summit between Trump and Xi remain in place, as the U.S. president stated he does not expect the Iran conflict or oil market shifts to impact their meeting dynamics.
