China Reiterates Opposition to US Sanctions on Iran, Russia
Beijing rejects unilateral US measures against Tehran and Moscow, saying they lack United Nations authorization, according to Iran's Mehr News.
China has reiterated its opposition to unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States on Iran and Russia, according to a report published by Iran's Mehr News agency on September 20.
The report, citing Chinese officials, said Beijing rejects sanctions that are not authorized by the United Nations, describing such measures as unilateral actions by Washington against the two countries.
Mehr News did not provide further details on the specific sanctions referenced or on any additional statements from Chinese officials regarding the matter.
China has previously voiced similar objections to US sanctions on other countries, arguing that unilateral measures outside the framework of the UN Security Council undermine international law and multilateral diplomacy.
The statement comes amid ongoing tensions between Washington and both Tehran and Moscow over a range of issues, including Iran's nuclear program and the conflict in Ukraine, though Mehr News' report did not elaborate on the specific context prompting China's comments.
