China urged Iran to end “illegal” sanctions as it hosted the Iranian and Russian diplomats on Friday, which would resume Beijing’s hopes for talks on the long -term conversation on Tehran’s nuclear program.
The United States withdrew from a Landmark 2015 deal, which in exchange for restrictions during the first term of US President Donald Trump, in exchange for restrictions on Tehran’s nuclear development.
The Republican President has called for a new nuclear deal with Iran since returning to the White House in January, but Tehran says no such agreement is possible, unless to punish the restrictions.
Efforts to secure a pact were given a new request last month when the United Nations Atomic Sentinel stated that Iran had greatly increased its reserves of highly rich uranium.
Beijing hosted the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazam Gharibabadi and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Raibakov on Friday to negotiate, said that it is expected that “the initial time will help to resume negotiations and talks”.
Meeting diplomats, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi “emphasizes a comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue, is an important achievement achieved through dialogue and dialogue”.
“Now the situation has again reached a significant turn. We should buy time for peace, resolve disputes through political and diplomatic means, and oppose the use of force and illegal sanctions,” he said.
A statement by the Ministry of External Affairs of Beijing stated that the US should demonstrate “return to political honesty and an early date”, which outlined proposals from China on the Iranian nuclear issue.
The statement said, “All sides … should avoid the tasks that can increase the situation.”
‘Peaceful’ nuclear program
Clockbaqbadi in turn received the title of “creative” dialogue in Beijing and said that Iran’s atomic program is “peaceful in nature”.
“Our nuclear program has never been done for non-personal purposes,” said Chilababadi.
“But unfortunately, some countries are trying to create an unnecessary crisis in this regard.”
“The main root cause of the current situation is the United States unilateral return,” said Ghiribabadi.
The Chinese state media said that Russian and Iranian officials met on Friday before Chinese Deputy Country Minister Ma Jhoxu and “Iran exchanged ideas on nuclear issues and other issues of general concern”.
The MA reiterated after fulfilling China’s support for “political and diplomatic engagement and communication based on mutual respect”.
“We emphasized the need to abolish all illegal, unilateral sanctions,” the MA told reporters.
“Related parties should work to eliminate the root causes of the current situation and release restrictions, pressure and dangers of force use.”
Iran’s ambassador to China later said on the social media platform X that the meeting was a “complete success”.
He said that the talks said that he said, including the need to collaborate for the three countries, for the three countries, as a result of “important agreements on tripartite cooperation on important international issues.
‘Maximum pressure’
Trump has restored the “maximum pressure” policy of sanctions against Iran, reflecting his approach during his first term.
He sent a letter to Tehran this week, urging a warning of nuclear dialogue and possible military action.
Tehran said that the letter, which Trump said, was addressed to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, currently “reviewed”.
“Finally, the United States should lift the sanctions,” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview published by the official newspaper of the government on Thursday.
Washington raised his pressure campaign on the same day by banning the Iranian Petroleum Minister Mohsen Paqqejd.
The US Treasury Department also said that it has been said that the owners or operators of ships installed to take Iranian oil to China were also blacklisted.
A report by the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in February stated that Iran significantly increased its highly rich uranium stockpile to 60 percent purity – a small step than the 90 percent of the 90 percent of the nuclear weapon.
Khamenei said that this week Iran is “nuclear weapons” and “not asking for them”. Tehran has long maintained that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
