UN (IP) - The US push on Iran will lead to nowhere," the spokesperson of the Chinese Mission to the UN, tweeted in reaction to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's recent remarks.

Iran PressEurope: "Think you know which country is the world's largest exporter of arms," Zhang Jun, Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations tweeted.

"UNSCR2231 is clear on lifting arms-related restrictive measures on Iran in October. US unilateral and political push for extending arms embargo on Iran will lead to nowhere," he tweeted.

Iran and the 5+1 Group reached a historic agreement in July 2015 to lift sanctions on Iran in exchange for Iran limiting some of its nuclear activities, but in May 2018, Trump unilaterally withdrew from the landmark nuclear agreement and re-imposed sanctions on Tehran.
