US-Iran War Live Updates | Global economies are racing to find ways to alleviate the effects of the ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, Trump’s attention shifts to his forthcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Stay tuned for the latest news and insights regarding developments in the West Asia conflict and the global response.
The fragile ceasefire is on the brink, with US President Donald Trump stating it is on ‘life support.’ Iran has signaled its military readiness, with parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf asserting that Tehran is prepared to respond to “any aggression” and may catch the US off guard.
The situation is deteriorating in southern Lebanon, where Israeli airstrikes continue.
In the meantime, President Trump is promoting his upcoming trip to Beijing, his first since 2017, to meet with Chinese leader President Xi Jinping. The extent to which the Iran conflict influences their discussions or how much pressure China will apply on Trump regarding it will be closely monitored, although analysts remain skeptical.
“It is unlikely that Xi will allow his meeting with Trump in Beijing to be overshadowed by conversations about Iran. In fact, there are many topics related to maintaining technology trade and talent exchanges between China and the US that will occupy the Summit discussions,” stated Anushka Saxena of The Takshashila Institute to CNBC-TV18.
Simultaneously, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged citizens of the significant economy to unite for the nation and refrain from gold purchases as a strategy to stabilize the Indian rupee’s decline.
