🇮🇷❗️— NOW: Air defense activity in Tehran, Iran, IRNA reports.

🇮🇷🇺🇸❗️Something is concerning. Trump today had a meeting with Pentagon Officials and Hegseth regarding Iran's Epic Fury operation. We can't predict the specific time of resuming the strike, but the war is inevitable. The probability is increased this weekend.

🇺🇸🇨🇳The United States is actively preparing for Trump's visit to China, scheduled for June.

"This morning, I held talks with Vice Premier He Lifeng to discuss Donald Trump's upcoming visit to China. Our conversation was candid and comprehensive, and I emphasized that China's recent provocative extraterritorial norms are having a restraining effect on global supply chains. I look forward to a productive summit between President Trump and President Xi in Beijing," said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

By "recent provocative extraterritorial norms of China," Bessent means the "supply chain security" rules introduced in April this year, which give Chinese authorities the right to investigate foreign companies and punish them for "damaging China's industrial and supply chain security," which relates to their activities both within and outside the country.

Also, amendments to the foreign trade law came into effect on March 1, which strengthen the mechanisms for retaliatory measures against other countries, the possibility of restricting trade with them and their access to the market, which is seen as a measure primarily aimed at the US and the EU, which use unilateral tariffs or sanctions against China.

Recall, today Bloomberg wrote that the EU does not want to impose sanctions against China, as it fears retaliatory measures from Beijing.
