Regarding the latest developments in the Middle East situation: 1. After China's Wang Yi made a statement on the 16th, Pakistan immediately responded. Yesterday, on the 17th, Pakistani military spokesperson Major General Chaudhry made it clear that Pakistan will defend Saudi Arabia "to any extent" because the Houthis' missile and drone attacks targeted Saudi Arabia. Pakistan fully supports the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia both diplomatically and practically, "Jodry told Arab News." We will spare no effort 2. Last night, Reuters quoted three anonymous Iranian sources as saying that after Saudi Arabia sought help from Beijing, China privately requested Iran's assistance in restraining the Houthi armed forces; This should be a further development following China's statement on the 16th. 3. It is worth mentioning that the United States has granted visas for the Iranian President and Foreign Minister to attend the United Nations General Assembly, but has not granted visas for Palestinian President Abbas to travel to the United States. It's very clear which one is heavier and which one is lighter. Of course, some people may argue that Iran is now firmly controlled by the hardliners of the Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the internal discourse power of the President and Foreign Minister is also limited. But these two still have access to Iran's official channels for external communication, and even within the Revolutionary Guard Corps, they are not saying they want to fight indefinitely, but rather are determined to ultimately fight for their own maximum interests. Talking is also possible, it depends on the effectiveness of the conversation. Trump needs to make enough concessions from the previous point of view. But as long as we move towards the direction of negotiations, there is a possibility for the market to further cool down, and naturally, emotions and expectations will continue to be boosted. Just look at the results of the meeting between the United States, Iran, Middle Eastern countries, and the United States and China during next week's UN General Assembly in New York. The force to break the deadlock, as discussed in Monday's tweet, is the joint pressure and mediation from Gulf countries, neighboring allies, and China. https://(x.com)/qinbafrank/status/2099309577594630321? s=46&t=k6rimWsEbo2D2tXolYcM-A This article is sponsored by @ bitget_zh, "Bitget Buying US Stocks: Instant Entry, Smooth Trading
