"The United States' unilateral withdrawal from the comprehensive Iranian nuclear agreement, its use of force against Iran twice during the negotiation process, and its push for the policy of exerting maximum pressure on Iran are the main causes why the current situation in the Middle East and the Iranian nuclear issue remain complex and difficult to resolve. The parties concerned can not put the cart before the horse. The United States should make a clear commitment not to use force again, engage in sincere negotiations with Iran, and ensure effective implementation of any future agreement."

A Chinese envoy on Thursday urged the United States to renounce the use or threated use of force in pursuing a political settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue through diplomacy.
Repeated hostilities in the Middle East have caused serious harm and losses to the peoples of countries in the region, including Iran, while the spillover effects continue to expand, undermining common interests of the international community, said Sun Lei, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations.
The parties concerned should renounce the use or threatened use of force, resume implementation of the U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding as soon as possible, and bring the Iranian nuclear issue back onto the track of a political and diplomatic solution, he said at a U.N. Security Council briefing on the issue.
"The United States' unilateral withdrawal from the comprehensive Iranian nuclear agreement, its use of force against Iran twice during the negotiation process, and its push for the policy of exerting maximum pressure on Iran are the main causes why the current situation in the Middle East and the Iranian nuclear issue remain complex and difficult to resolve. The parties concerned can not put the cart before the horse. The United States should make a clear commitment not to use force again, engage in sincere negotiations with Iran, and ensure effective implementation of any future agreement," Sun said.
China has always stood on the side of peace, on the side of dialogue, and on the right side of history. As a participant in the Iran nuclear deal and a permanent member of the Security Council, China will continue to work with all other parties and make unremitting efforts to advance a political settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue, uphold the international nuclear non-proliferation regime, and promote peace and stability in the Middle East, according to the Chinese envoy.
