Tehran Mural Portrays China as Anti-U.S. Ally Amid Beijing's Push for Iran Talks

Iran has installed a mural in Tehran depicting a dragon (China) devouring an eagle (U.S.), signaling a public alignment with Beijing. This comes as China reportedly pressures Iran toward negotiations, highlighting a potential divergence in messaging. The mural reflects Iran's attempt to frame China as a strategic counterweight to the U.S., even as Beijing seeks to moderate Tehran's stance.
