  3. Iran: The Latest Podcast
  4. Iran offers a truce as China plays the long game
As Chinese leader Xi Jinping concludes his three-day state visit
to Washington, Beijing’s incremental support of Tehran threatens
to undermine Donald Trump’s pressure campaign.

On today’s episode of Iran: the Latest, host Sophia Yan speaks
with China military expert Meia Nouwens to break down Beijing’s
strategic calculus in the Middle East, how China benefits from
the US getting bogged down in a regional war, and preparations
for potential future wartime chokepoints in the Strait of
Malacca.

Plus, Iran-backed Houthi strikes hit Saudi Arabia’s state-owned
Aramco facilities, driving up crude oil prices and prompting an
emergency meeting amongst Saudi, Turkish, and Pakistani military
chiefs. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi
proposes a seven-day truce to Washington, demanding a halt to all
hostilities, $12 billion in frozen assets to be released and an
end to the US naval blockade – pre-conditions to reopen Hormuz.

Podcast-Folgen verschwinden. Feeds werden auf die letzten Episoden gekürzt, Hoster räumen alte Dateien ab, Formate wechseln den Anbieter und lassen ihr Archiv zurück. Mit „Mein Archiv“ sichert podcast.de die Folgen deiner Podcasts für dich — angefangen bei den ältesten, denn die sind zuerst weg.

  • Deine gesicherten Folgen bleiben hörbar, auch wenn das Original offline geht.
  • Auch Folgen, die im heutigen Feed gar nicht mehr stehen — podcast.de kennt sie noch.
