China blasts US for banning firms allegedly linked to Iran
Tehran (KNA) - China has slammed the United States’ recent move to impose sanctions on Chinese firms over the allegation that they are linked to the Iranian nuclear energy program.
"We urge the US to immediately correct this wrong practice and earnestly respect the legitimate rights and interests of all parties," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said at a Friday press briefing.
Geng made the comments a day after the US Treasury Department announced new sanctions targeting Iranian, Belgian, and Chinese companies for allegedly serving as "procurement network" for Iran's nuclear energy program.
