China: Snapback Mechanism Against Iran Won’t Help Ease Disputes
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and China’s Foreign Ministry website, spokesperson Gao Jianhong highlighted Beijing’s consistent support for a diplomatic solution to Iran’s nuclear issue. He stressed that activating the ”snapback mechanism” will not contribute to easing disputes.
The chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that China remains committed to resolving Iran’s nuclear issue through political and diplomatic means.
He made these remarks in response to questions about the potential re-imposition of United Nations sanctions on Iran, underlining Beijing’s opposition to any ”threats involving force, sanctions, or pressure.”
Gao referred to actions taken by the European trio-Britain, France, and Germany-known as the “E3,” which triggered the snapback mechanism against Iran. He noted that activating this UN Security Council procedure is unconstructive and does not help rebuild trust or reduce divisions among parties. The current priority is strengthening diplomatic efforts and avoiding further escalation.
He added that China will continue promoting dialog for peace and play a constructive role in finding a solution addressing all parties’ legitimate concerns.
