🇨🇳🇵🇰 Pakistan–China high‑level talks in Beijing kick off
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan held talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing
The meeting was also attended by Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to China's Xi:
China and Pakistan are two iron brother countries.
This unique relationship is next to none.
China is not only a world-class economic power, it is also a military power, meant for progress and peace in the world.
BIG: Taiwan's National Security Council chief Joseph Wu says China has deployed over 100 vessels — including navy and coast guard ships — across the First Island Chain, from the Yellow Sea to the South China Sea.
Wu described China as the main disruptor of regional stability.
“One way or the other, Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says negotiations with Iran are moving forward and revealed there could be developments “later today, tomorrow, in a couple of days.”
Rubio said President Trump prefers to resolve the standoff diplomatically, but stressed the administration is demanding Iran turn over its enriched uranium and address its nuclear enrichment efforts.
"Even as I speak to you now, there's some work being done," Rubio added.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the US is working on a deal with Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz and abandon its nuclear program.
BREAKING: Secretary Marco Rubio says NATO allies are beginning to think through a worst-case scenario if Iran refuses to open the Strait of Hormuz:
"We all would love to see an agreement with Iran in which the Straits are open and they abandon their nuclear ambitions and so forth... We also have to have a plan B."
"We have to start thinking about what do we do if, a few weeks from now, Iran decides 'We don't care, we're going to keep the Straits closed. We're going to sink any ship that doesn't listen to us or doesn't pay us.' Then someone's going to have to do something about it."
NEW: Iran is drawing a hard line in nuclear talks, insisting its enriched uranium must stay inside the country.
That demand is now fueling new friction in negotiations with the U.S., as President Trump signals the ceasefire could end if Tehran refuses a deal.

BREAKING:
Reuters reports that Iran's supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei has banned transferring Iran's enriched uranium stockpile abroad, rejecting one of the main U.S. demands in the ongoing nuclear talks.
China opposes any direct contact between Washington and Taipei after Donald Trump said he could speak to Taiwan’s President William Lai about a possible arms deal.
Something no US president has done directly since 1979.
Al Jazeera’s @Katmyu reports.
🇨🇳 Xi Jinping just sent an indirect but chilling warning to the U.S. and Israel 🇮🇱🇺🇸
🇨🇳 Xi Jinping : China and Russia must firmly oppose all unilateral bullying. 🔥
He told Putin that expanding war in the Middle East now would be an extremely bad idea. Anyone pushing it should consider this a warning.
Iran deserves peace. 🔥👏
What a leader. A non-democratic state is calling out warmongers and asking for peace.
He has more backbone than so-called democratic leaders.🔥🔥
President's Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin signed a joint statement on strategic coordination, with President Xi warning of a return to the ‘law of the jungle’ and urged China and Russia to oppose unilateral actions and promote fair global governance system https://t.co/wOmVSWG30S
🚨 BREAKING: After high-level talks between the U.S. and China, President Donald Trump allegedly warned that “Iran’s final night” has arrived, adding that the world could witness a “massive and devastating” event within hours.
