TEHRAN (Iran News) – Iran’s Ambassador to China Mohammad Keshavarz-Zadeh said that assisting the US to intensify its sanctions loop against Iran is unacceptable by any justification.
“In this crucial situation where the medical staff of the country is trying to contain the pandemic, it is our duty to alleviate the suffering of the people. Helping to tighten the oppressive US sanctions loop is unacceptable by any justification. So far, most foreign aid has come from China. Do not be discouraged by baseless rumors,” the ambassador said in a tweet on July 19, Mehr News Agency (MNA) reported.
Referring to the 25-year cooperation roadmap between Iran and China, he had already noted that enemies of Iran cannot stand the expansion of Tehran-Beijing relations.
In a meeting on June 21, Iran’s cabinet of ministers approved the final draft of the 25-year comprehensive cooperation plan between Iran and China.
On July 5, came the announcement of the Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif about Iran-China negotiations over a 25-year ‘accord’, which as he put into words is “clear and the two countries have nothing to hide about it.”
However, during the past weeks, there were claims and reports by certain foreign-based media lashing out at Iran for what they claimed to be paving the grounds for China to colonize Iran.
The enemies regard the cooperation roadmap ‘unacceptable’ and ‘unbelievable’ for it makes Iran capable of resisting the US sanctions.
Head of Iran-China Chamber of Commerce and Industry Majid-Reza Hariri believes that the 25-year roadmap between Tehran and Beijing for strategic partnership poses a big threat to the regional interests of the Tel Aviv regime.
According to Hariri, the propaganda against Iran-China 25-year roadmap is “run by the Tel Aviv regime.”
Since the Zionist regime has attracted the biggest part of the Chinese investments in the region, “if China commences its cooperation with Iran, China-Zionist regime cooperation will lose its significance,” the official told MNA exclusively on July 12.
