Trump, Netanyahu Back Plan for US Pressure on Iran to Cut Oil Sales to China, Agree to Go ‘Full Force’...
President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have agreed to intensify economic pressure on Iran by targeting its oil exports to China, which account for more than 80% of Tehran’s sales. The coordinated effort is intended to force Tehran back to the negotiating table over its nuclear program as the United States readies possible military options. By cutting off Chinese‑bound oil, the duo hopes to weaken Iran’s revenue stream and increase diplomatic leverage. The plan signals a deeper U.S.–Israel alignment on Middle‑East security.
