Trump had already stressed on 6 March that any deal with Iran must result in the country's "unconditional surrender" setting maximalist war objectives for the United States.
Agreement between the Presidents now frees the way for America and Israel to now continue with:
- Continuing Epic Fury with China's backing until Iran's nuclear weapon ambitions are finally ended.
- Ending Epic Fury by securing Iran's unconditional surrender on Trump's terms.

An unmistakable message is being sent to the world: the United States and China - despite their profound differences - share a common interest in preventing nuclear proliferation and preserving freedom of navigation in global energy corridors.
At a time when international institutions appear increasingly fragmented and major powers frequently move toward confrontation rather than cooperation - this agreement between Presidents Trump and Xi stands out as a rare example of strategic consensus between rivals.
