China has doubled down on its push for a peaceful resolution to the Iran nuclear issue, urging global powers to ditch sanctions and prioritize dialogue. 🔄 Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun emphasized Tuesday that "political and diplomatic means" remain the only viable path forward, criticizing recent moves to escalate tensions.
Why Diplomacy Matters
The call comes after a UN Security Council draft resolution—co-proposed by China and Russia—failed to pass. The proposal aimed to extend technical measures under Resolution 2231, buying time for negotiations. Guo argued that triggering the "snapback" mechanism (which reinstates sanctions) only derails progress. 🚫💣
Root of the Crisis
China blames the U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) for the current stalemate. 🇺🇸📜 "The U.S. must show sincerity," Guo stressed, urging Western nations to revive diplomatic efforts and prevent further escalation.
What’s Next?
China vows to stay neutral and push for solutions that balance all parties’ concerns. 🌏⚖️ With global energy markets and regional stability at stake, the world is watching to see if diplomacy can prevail over pressure tactics.
