Iran Press/Asia: On Friday 17 July, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying in Beijing, in response to remarks by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that after the UN Security Council arms embargo against Iran expires on October 18, China intends to sell weaponry to Iran and to this end it has also made the necessary preparations, said: "the US Secretary of State's remarks are a clear excuse for extending the UN Security Council arms embargo on Iran, which has no basis."
She continued: "These statements have once again exposed the non-commitment of the United States in dealing with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which it unilaterally withdrew in disregard of UNSCR 2231. She said that China hopes that the United States returns to the path of maintaining the validity of the Security Council resolutions along with the implementation of the JCPOA as soon as possible and not going in the wrong direction again.
The United States is currently trying to prevent the lifting of the arms embargo on Iran, despite the JCPOA and UN Security Council Resolution 2231, under the false pretext of lifting the arms embargo on Iran is threatening.
Pursuant to Security Council Resolution 2231, the arms embargo on Iran will be lifted on October 18, 2020.
Meanwhile, the UN Security Council meeting last Tuesday, June 30th, to review the Secretary-General's periodic report on the implementation of UNSCR 2231 on the Iran nuclear deal was once again the scene of the international community confronting Washington's demands and unilateralism; The US government's efforts to prevent the lifting of arms embargoes on Iran have virtually failed.
