waiting for the historic meeting; How does Beijing deal with Trump regarding Iran?
▫ After the announcement of the results of the mid-term elections of the United States, Donald Trump, the president of this country, expressed his most honest position so far, according to which the intensification of diplomacy can prevent another round of major conflicts with Iran.
▫ Trump told CNN on Sunday that if progress is made in reaching a deal with Tehran on its nuclear program and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, it would be "highly unlikely" that the United States would launch another military strike.
▫ This is in a situation where, according to CNN, Iran and the US are quietly negotiating a sensitive agreement that could prevent a return to full-scale war and pave the way for broader talks. On the other hand, Washington somewhat reduced the optimism about reaching an agreement.
▫ The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, said on Sunday: "I can't say that we are on the verge of a major breakthrough (major agreement)." Trump also stated that the military option is still on the table.
