CHINA: China, Iran, and Russia have officially signed a trilateral strategic agreement that brings the three countries into a coordinated framework of cooperation spanning diplomatic strategy, economic resilience, and broader geopolitical alignment. The pact builds on long-standing bilateral agreements — including a 20-year Iran-Russia strategic partnership and a 25-year Iran-China cooperation program — but now formally links all three in shared goals. While not a mutual defense treaty like NATO’s Article 5, the agreement signals a deeper commitment to working together on issues such as nuclear sovereignty and countering Western sanctions. Observers see the move as part of a wider shift toward a multipolar world order amid global tensions. The pact also comes as joint military exercises and diplomatic activity among the trio continue to attract international attention.
- Pray for peace and stability in international relations, that this pact would not fuel conflict but instead open doors to reconciliation and mutual respect (The Holy Bible, 2 Chronicles 7:14).
- Pray for justice and protection for all peoples affected by global power shifts so that the vulnerable would be safeguarded and uplifted (The Holy Bible, Psalm 82:3).
