Australia lashes out at China – denounces threat
The Australian government has delivered a scathing assessment of China’s position within the global trading sector
In a statement provided to the World Trade Organisation, the Morrison government calls out Beijing for trade coercion on exports that previously totalled 20 billion a year.
The government says “WTO rules do not permit a member – however large – to impose conditions such as these on trade with another member”.
The statement forms part of a regular review process conducted by the Trade Organisation into trade practices of member nations.
It has been published on Twitter by Australia’s trade ambassador and retweeted by Finance Minister Simon Birmingham.
This follows Australia pushing to internationalise its push back against Beijing’s use of its market power to punish trade partners for alleged misbehaviour.
The statement says “China’s actions go beyond their impact on Australian exporters – they raise the risk and uncertainty of the China market for the global business community”.
Satellite images reveal that Iran has buried all three tunnel entrances at its Isfahan nuclear complex. Analysts say the move mirrors defensive preparations taken before U.S. airstrikes devastated the facility last year, with no vehicle or personnel activity visible around the entrances.
The burial appears aimed at limiting damage from potential airstrikes and complicating any ground raid targeting enriched uranium stored in the underground facility. Experts suggest equipment or materials may have been moved into the tunnels for protection, though this remains unconfirmed.
The fortification comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. President Trump has demanded Iran curb its nuclear program, warning of military action, while Tehran insists halting uranium enrichment is unacceptable. Recent indirect talks in Oman showed little progress toward a new deal.

Trump hints at military pressure as U.S. and Iran resume nuclear talks
US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.
US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.
The United States and Iran have returned to the negotiating table in Oman, marking a fresh attempt to ease escalating nuclear tensions between the two long-time rivals. President Donald Trump described the talks as promising, suggesting momentum toward further discussions.
Iran’s Foreign Minister echoed cautious optimism, calling the meetings a positive first step while acknowledging deep-seated trust issues remain unresolved. At the heart of the talks is a major sticking point — the White House’s insistence that Iran dismantle its nuclear capability entirely.
Iran, however, maintains it has a sovereign right to enrich uranium, setting the stage for difficult negotiations ahead as both sides test whether diplomacy can hold.
