White House: Iran's Nuclear Program Will Be on the Agenda for the US-China Presidential Meeting

The US National Security Advisor responded to a question about whether President Joe Biden will ask Chinese President Xi Jinping to refrain from purchasing Iranian oil this week, stating that the US has sanctions against Iranian oil sales that have been in place for several years. Jake Sullivan, in an interview with CBS News on Sunday, noted that the meeting between the US and Chinese presidents is scheduled for Wednesday this week, and that the Biden administration has strengthened these sanctions in terms of both quantity and type. He stated that the issue of Iran's nuclear program and the threats arising from it, as well as its threats against regional stability and US forces in the Middle East, will be on the agenda. The United States, which has bolstered its presence in the Middle East since the onset of the Israel-Hamas war, has repeatedly warned against attempts to escalate conflict in the region and has informed Iranian officials that any attack on US positions and forces will be met with severity. The US Department of Defense announced last Thursday that following the US attack on facilities belonging to the IRGC in Syria, American forces were targeted four times by groups supported by the Iranian government in the Middle East.
