Beijing, August 20 /Xinhua/ — Imposing sanctions and exerting pressure will not help resolve the Iran issue, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian on Thursday.
Lin Jian made this statement at the latest departmental press conference, responding to a request to comment on a report that US President Donald Trump announced plans to launch “the most devastating economic operation” against Iran.
China calls on the relevant parties to take responsible steps and resolve this issue through political and diplomatic means, Lin Jian noted.
