- •No official Chinese confirmation is available to support the alleged Trump-Xi agreement on Hormuz
BIASES

RUSSIASTATEDOMINANT ANGLE

Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Washington demands the transfer of 400 kg of Iranian enriched uranium to the United States as a condition for continuing the peace process (Fars/TASS).
