Trump’s Stunning Shift: President Greenlights China’s Purchase of Iranian Oil

According to Saed News, U.S. President Donald Trump ignited fresh controversy on Tuesday by asserting on social media that China may henceforth purchase oil from Iran. This statement represents a dramatic departure from the stringent sanctions Washington has long maintained against Tehran’s energy sector.

Trump, seeking to portray himself as a peacemaker, framed this development as a major diplomatic victory. “China can now continue buying oil from Iran,” he proclaimed, adding, “The Chinese will also buy a lot from the United States. It was an immense honor for me to make this happen!”

The announcement comes at a fraught moment in international relations, with volatility in the Middle East and uncertainty over America’s long-term strategy toward Iran. As Trump’s declaration carries no formal imprimatur from the U.S. Treasury or State Department, its immediate legal effect remains unclear. Nonetheless, markets and foreign governments will be closely watching for any signs of a genuine policy shift.

The President’s remarks follow a separate claim made earlier on social media, in which he insisted that Israel has no intention of attacking Iran. “All the planes are turning back home,” he wrote, “waving to Iran as they go.”

While many analysts interpret these pronouncements as Trump’s signature brand of political theater, they nevertheless have the power to influence international perceptions—and, potentially, diplomatic behavior. Without clarification from official channels, observers caution that Trump’s words may sow confusion among allies and adversaries alike, complicating efforts to maintain coherent sanctions and regional stability.
