China Urges US-Iran Talks, Calls for Reopening Strait of Hormuz

China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi urged Iran and the US to resume the provisional peace agreement signed in June and engage in substantive consultations, also calling for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. This marks a notable diplomatic push by Beijing amid heightened tensions, though the status of the strait's closure and the peace agreement's details remain unclear. The move signals China's growing role as a mediator in the conflict, with potential implications for global energy markets.
