Donald Trump ended his high stakes trip to China claiming Xi
Jinping had promised not to arm Iran, wanted the Strait of Hormuz
open, and backed his goal of preventing Tehran getting a nuclear
weapon.

But does any of that amount to a change in Chinese policy, and
will it do anything to bring the frozen but still rumbling
conflict to a close?

Sophia Yan speaks to Andrea Ghiselli, a China-Iran expert who has
spent the war in China, about how the conflict is perceived in
Beijing. Plus, Roland Oliphant summarises the latest news from
the Middle East, including renewed drone strikes in Iraq.

Highlights:

Trump says that Xi has pledged no military equipment to Iran

Cautious optimism in Lebanon as talks with Israel progress
