China's foreign ministry stated that it will safeguard its own interests in light of the recent sanctions imposed by the United States on Iran. According to a ministry spokesman, China's cooperation with Iran adheres to international law and should not be disrupted or interfered with.
The US has expressed intentions to isolate nations that maintain trade relations with Iran, particularly targeting those that engage in oil transactions with Tehran, a significant supplier to China.
In response to the sanctions, China has also called for a ceasefire, arguing that US sanctions will not contribute to resolving the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
