Spectacular drone show lights up skies over Wuhan for Chinese New Year

A dazzling light show illuminated the skies above Wuhan City in central China's Hubei Province on Wednesday, with a horse-shaped formation of drones and illuminated festive messages for the Chinese New Year.

Over 4,000 drones soared into the sky, forming a massive 360-degree panoramic canvas above the Yangtze River. Visitors could see spectacular scenes including red lanterns, auspicious calligraphy for the Year of the Horse, and galloping horses near the Guishan TV Tower.

Key viewing spots like the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge drew crowds of locals and visitors who gathered to witness the high-tech spectacle.

"This is my first time in Wuhan experiencing Chinese New Year culture. I walked from one side of the bridge to the other, following the drone performance the whole way. It was truly moving. I even posted about it on social media. Wuhan's festive vibe is so strong, and the whole thing feels futuristic," said Qin, a visitor from southwest China's Sichuan Province.

Similar celebrations are unfolding across China.

In Sichuan's Guangyuan City, a spectacular lantern festival has attracted over 70,000 visitors, with a combination of colorful lantern displays, live performances, street food, and cultural creative products.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday the outcome of the U.S.-Iran nuclear talks will be decided over the next 10 days amid high tensions and increased U.S. military buildups in the Middle East.

Trump made the remarks when addressing the inaugural meeting of the "Board of Peace" in Washington, D.C.

"You're going to be finding out over the next probably 10 days," Trump said, calling Iran "a hotspot right now."

"We may have to take it a step further, or we may not. Maybe we're going to make a deal," he said.

"It's proven to be, over the years, not easy to make a meaningful deal with Iran, and we have to make a meaningful deal. Otherwise bad things happen," Trump added.

The White House said Wednesday that Tehran is expected to present more details on its negotiating position within weeks.

"Diplomacy is always his (Trump's) first option," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, but also noted that "there are many reasons and arguments that one could make for a strike against Iran."

A Trump adviser has estimated a "90 percent chance" of strikes within weeks if talks fail, Axios reported Tuesday, noting that the U.S. raid could involve a large-scale, weeks-long campaign.
