Iranian naval officials claimed on Thursday that they had successfully intercepted and harassed an American nuclear-powered submarine, a claim the U.S. Navy denied on the grounds that no such submarine was in the region.
a deterioration in ties to the United States under leftist President Joe Biden, reached out to the communist government of China this week seeking help to influence Iran to stop threatening the annihilation of the country. Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen requested help from Beijing in a phone call to his Chinese counterpart Qin Gang on Monday.
“I spoke today with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang. I called on him to exert his influence on Iran to stop the progress of the nuclear program,” Cohenin a public statement, “which poses a danger to many countries in the Middle East and the world.” China’s profile in the Middle East has grown as Biden-era tensions with Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other traditional allies in the region have worsened. Most prominently, China helped broker a deal to normalize diplomatic relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, for years each other’s top geopolitical rivals. The countries remain locked in a proxy war in Yemen but agreed on a deal in Beijing to reopen their respective embassies and restore commercial flights to each other’s countries.
The White House has done little to prevent China from expanding its authoritarian influence in the region, instead insisting it has no “” about the Iran-Saudi Arabia deal. The Biden administration also has no clear policy on Iran, initially appearing interested in reviving the failed Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action , which former President Donald Trump exited, but taking little action in the past two years to do so.
