Reasoning

Sharpens P068 conditional on the expansion trigger. Beijing's calculus on hosting the meeting during active US-Iran fire shifts under expansion; the Iran-cited framing is the politically expensive version (signals China names US escalation as the problem) versus a neutral-framed slip. Confidence at 0.55 reflects uncertainty about Beijing's framing choice - China may slip the summit without naming Iran to preserve future optionality.
