— 🇮🇷/🇨🇳 NEW: During Abbas Araqchi’s visit to Beijing, China emphasized the need to ‘quickly and fully reopen’ the Strait of Hormuz

While the meeting was mostly friendly, the atmosphere was tense at times, as China too feels the economic effects of the Strait of Hormuz being closed.

China also pressured Iran not to restart the war and to refrain from further escalating tensions.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 IRGC Major General Mohsen Rezaei:

‘America thinks that Iran is a retarded nation that would give up its rights under military threat or coercion.

This is wishful thinking, the Iranian people will never accept such a thing, and the word ‘submission’ is completely outside of our dictionary.

It is the Americans that have a so-called President who is mentally unstable and morally corrupt’

— 🇮🇷 Iran’s President, Masoud Pezeshkian:

‘I recently met with His Eminence Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, and explained the prevailing regional atmosphere during this meeting, as well as personal, ethical, and administrative aspects.

The meeting took place in a friendly atmosphere, and the conversation lasted for nearly two and a half hours.

What stood out to me in this meeting more than any other topic was the manner of his engagement, the type of perspective, and the humble and deeply friendly style of the Leader; an approach that turned the atmosphere of dialogue into an environment based on trust, calmness, empathy, and frank dialogue.

When the highest official in the country meets with such ethics, humility, and the spirit of the people with officials and individuals, this behavior can be a natural model for the country's administrative and managerial system; a model based on taking responsibility, closeness to the people, and truly listening to issues and problems, as the martyr and great leader of the Islamic Revolution is committed to in his conduct and work.‘
