• PressTV Published on Aug 8, 2018
  China and Germany have defended their business ties with Iran in the wake of US sanctions on Tehran. The Chinese foreign ministry said, in a statement, that Beijing opposes unilateral US measures. It said China’s commercial cooperation with Iran is open and transparent, and does not violate any UN Security Council resolutions. The German government also said that U-S sanctions violate international law. It said Germany expects the US to consider European interests when coming up with such measures. On Tuesday, Washington re-imposed anti-Iran sanctions. US President Donald Trump tweeted that anyone doing business with Iran will be barred from doing business with Washington.
