China has reiterated its opposition to any foreign interference in Iran’s internal affairs, following a warning by US President Donald Trump that the United States would take “very strong actions” against Tehran.
Speaking at a regular press briefing, Mao Ning, a spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said Beijing supports the government and people of Iran and hopes they can overcome current difficulties and maintain stability.
Mao said China opposes interference by external forces in the internal affairs of sovereign states and does not support the use or threat of force in international relations.
Her remarks come as tensions have escalated between Washington and Tehran amid widespread protests in Iran and growing international concern over the situation.
