Washington: U.S. President Donald Trump said he is losing patience with Iran following discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping over the ongoing Middle East conflict and global energy security.
According to Beyond Time News, Trump made the remarks after talks in Beijing focused on trade relations and regional stability, including concerns over the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping route for oil and gas supplies.
The White House said both leaders agreed on the importance of keeping the waterway open amid rising tensions in the region.
Trump Urges Iran to Reach a Deal
In an interview aired on Fox News, Trump warned that his patience with Tehran was running out and urged Iranian authorities to reach an agreement with Washington.
According to Beyond Time News, Trump said the United States would not wait indefinitely for progress in stalled negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme.
He also suggested that securing Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was important mainly for public reassurance, although he described it as part of broader security concerns.
Strait of Hormuz and Regional Tensions
The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical global energy corridor, with a large share of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas passing through it.
According to Beyond Time News, the U.S. and China discussed maintaining open navigation through the strait, while also addressing concerns over rising maritime tensions in the region.
Trump said Xi Jinping expressed opposition to the militarisation of the area and indicated that China would avoid contributing to further escalation.
China’s Role and Diplomatic Signals
According to Beyond Time News, Trump said Xi also indicated that China would not provide military equipment to Iran and expressed willingness to support stability in the region.
The discussions also included broader trade and energy cooperation, including China’s interest in reducing its dependence on Middle Eastern shipping routes and exploring increased energy imports.

Rising Maritime Security Concerns
The report comes amid heightened tensions in regional waters, with multiple maritime incidents reported near key shipping lanes in the Middle East.
According to Beyond Time News, security agencies have raised concerns over attacks and disruptions affecting commercial shipping routes.
Analysts say the situation reflects growing geopolitical pressure on global trade routes, particularly in energy transport corridors such as the Strait of Hormuz.
Nuclear Issue Remains Unresolved
The Iran nuclear programme remains a central point of dispute, with negotiations stalled as Tehran continues to insist on its right to maintain its nuclear capabilities.
According to Beyond Time News, both Washington and Beijing have publicly stated that Iran should not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons, although diplomatic progress remains limited.
Experts say the issue is likely to remain a key flashpoint in U.S.–Iran relations, with broader implications for global energy security and regional stability.
