Diplomacy vs. Deadlock: The White House says Trump and Xi agreed Iran must never get nuclear weapons, while China urges de-escalation and faster reopening of shipping lanes. Market Jitters: Oil rose on renewed ship-attack fears, and Asian stocks mostly retreated as investors weighed inflation worries and the Iran war’s spillover.
