According to Iran Press Report; in response to recent US decision to sanction Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying, in a press conference on August 1, said China believes that the only way to resolve the issue is through dialogue and negotiation and opposes any unilateral sanctions and "long-arm jurisdictions".
“We note the US press release and Foreign Minister Zarif's personal response. China's position is clear. We oppose US unilateral sanctions and 'long-arm jurisdictions'. They are not helpful at all. The only way to resolve the issue is through dialogue and negotiation” Said Chunying.
Spokesperson for Foreign Ministry of China added that “Recently the US has said on many occasions that it would like to have unconditional dialogue with Iran. We hope the US will honor its word, contribute to regional peace and stability instead of adding fuel to the fire. By doing so it will truly serve the common interests of the international community”.
On same day , China's CCTV channel while reffering to the US designation of Zarif stressed that Washington's move closed the doors of the probable dialguoe in the future and escalated the possible upcomming tensions.
Despite all claims about its readiness to start dialogue with Iran unconditionally, the Trump administration has imposed sanctions on Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, striking at the main diplomatic channel between Iran and the west.
The Iranian President Said in response that despite the US claim to be the world Super Power, it is really afraid of the politically knowledgeable Zarif's interview with the American media. 203 /212
