China urges US and Iran to rebuild talks as Araghchi visits Beijing

Hosting Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi urged Washington and Tehran to 'rebuild the negotiating framework' based on the Islamabad understanding and said China did not want tensions to spread to Yemen and the Red Sea. Araghchi said Iran welcomes diplomatic solutions.

Why this matters. China, the main buyer of Iranian oil, is positioning itself as a broker as US-Iran talks stay frozen.
