Washington Examiner economics columnist Tiana Lowe Doescher said Iran and China are both “hurting” as economic and energy pressures mount from the Iran war, even amid the ongoing two-week ceasefire.

“Yeah, and it means that this ceasefire could be extended while there are further negotiations,” Doescher said Wednesday on Fox Business’s Mornings with Maria Bartiromo. “Because just remember: As much as this is hurting Iran’s economy, where you have 15 million rial to a U.S. dollar or whatever the insane equation is, it’s also hurting, most importantly, China, and Iran is a client state of China.”
