US unilateralism cannot harm Iran, China: Larijani

Tehran (KNA) - In Beijing, Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani has said America’s hostile unilateral policies, including the imposition of sanctions and trade tariffs on other countries, will fail to harm other nations, including Iran and China.

Addressing students and professors at Renmin University of China in Beijing on Tuesday, Larijani said that unbridled unilateralism is not acceptable to world nations, paticularly Iran and China, in the 21st century.

"The US has adopted a hostile approach toward other nations - in the form of various economic mechanisms such as imposing unilateral, illegal and extra-territorial sanctions or slapping tariffs on other countries' exports - in an attempt to damage those nations. That includes the civilized Chinese and Iranian nations, but the policy will not succeed," he added.

Both Iran and China have been the target of Washington's stepped-up economic pressure tactics under President Donald Trump.
