'US Should Not Interfere With Our Iran Ties': China Warns Amid Sanctions

On Tuesday, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Lin Jian, warned the United States against imposing secondary sanctions on countries maintaining economic ties with Iran. In a press briefing, Lin strongly opposed "illegal unilateral sanctions" and pledged that China would take necessary steps to safeguard its economic interests.

He emphasized that China and Iran's economic cooperation should not be interfered with or disrupted, arguing that sanctions would not end the conflict. Lin called for a ceasefire between Washington and Tehran, asserting that economic warfare and maximum pressure offer no solution. The spokesperson highlighted that sanctions only fuel tensions, disrupt global economics, and are not legally or ethically justified.
