🌍 Xi and Putin's Strategic Unity Amid the Israel-Iran Crisis
As tensions flare in the Middle East, world powers are aligning. In a high-stakes call, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin presented a united front — urging restraint and de-escalation in the face of growing military aggression between Israel and Iran.
In their coordinated message, both leaders condemned Israel's military action, while also critiquing the U.S.'s shifting role under President Donald Trump. The Kremlin cited violations of international law; Xi urged all sides — especially Israel — to step back to prevent regional chaos.
🌐 A Peace-Brokered Image
China continues to extend its influence as a "peace negotiator." From coordinating dialogues between Iran and Saudi Arabia to expanding its Belt and Road Initiative through conflict zones, Beijing eyes diplomatic prestige in contrast to America’s military-first image.
Putin, meanwhile, leverages Moscow’s decades-long ties with Tehran. With Iran now a BRICS and Shanghai Cooperation Organization member, Russia’s alliance in the Middle East grows more strategic — economically and militarily.
🛢️ Oil, Sanctions & Geopolitics
At the heart of the issue lies control over oil corridors. The Strait of Hormuz remains critical to China’s energy supply — and any disruption affects the global economy. Both Moscow and Beijing oppose further American sanctions on Iran, favoring diplomacy over confrontation.
As Trump hints at deeper US involvement, Chinese academics call out his "chaotic" foreign policy, warning it may drag the US into another Middle Eastern quagmire — and shift global alliances even further.
The Kremlin, too, urges peace — but uses the moment to highlight American hypocrisy. Russian officials praise China’s neutrality, noting Xi’s push for diplomacy even as China supports Russia in Ukraine.
