US Asks China to Help End Iran War, Washington Post Reports

Washington: An American newspaper says the United States has requested China to play a role in ending the Iran war.

According to a report in the Washington Post, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent contacted China at the request of President Trump, and China has conveyed the American message to Iran.

The Washington Post reports that US Vice President JD Vance is leading diplomatic efforts with Iran, and that Vance sent a letter last month to Mohsen Rezaei, Iran’s security chief.

The report says Iran’s leadership is weighing a change in Washington’s policy after the US midterm elections. President Trump also sought help on the Iran issue during his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in September.
