Iran FM Araghchi to visit Beijing for talks ahead of Chinese president's US visit

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi will meet Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in Beijing for the second time since US-Israeli strikes on Iran began in February, signaling continued coordination between Tehran and Beijing. The visit precedes a Chinese presidential trip to the US, suggesting Iran is seeking to align with China ahead of potential US-China discussions on regional security. The timing implies Iran is leveraging its relationship with China to influence or hedge against US pressure.
