Iran-Israel war LIVE: Further hostilities in West Asia 'inadvisable', Xi tells Putin in Beijing talks
Chinese President Xi Jinping urged for a comprehensive ceasefire in West Asia during talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. U.S. President Donald Trump indicated that the war could end quickly if a deal is reached, while also pausing hostilities following Iran's new proposal. Iran's latest peace terms include demands for the withdrawal of U.S. forces and the lifting of sanctions, which have not significantly changed from previous offers.
