2026-03-13 11:18

During the US's term as the rotating president of the Security Council in March, it attempted to advance the work of the 1737 Sanctions Committee related to Iran on the 12th. This move was met with clear opposition from China and Russia. China pointed out that the 'snapback' sanctions mechanism has procedural and legal flaws. China also called for an immediate halt to military actions by the US and Israel, emphasizing that they should not attack Iranian nuclear facilities under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency, to prevent an escalation of the situation and the spread of conflict to the broader Middle East region.
