FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “China imports oil from Iran through normal channels, which are transparent and do not violate UN resolutions and do not hurt other countries’ interests,” Liu said at a daily press conference.
Beijing’s emphasis on maintaining normal economic ties with Tehran comes a day after Washington added seven more countries — India, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Taiwan, Turkey, and South Africa — to the list of countries exempt from sanctions on the buyers of Iranian crude oil.
In March, the US made exemptions for 10 European Union countries and Japan. The waivers are subject to a potential renewal after 180 days.
This came while China, one of the largest crude importers from Iran, was not on the list announced in the statement by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Washington has imposed several rounds of unilateral sanctions on Iran and has exerted pressure on others to follow suit, but many countries have expressed reservations, with China and India at the forefront.
The United States, Israel, and some of their allies accuse Iran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear energy program.
Iran rejects the allegations and says that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic energy Agency (IAEA), it has the right to use the nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
Also, the IAEA has conducted numerous inspections of Iran’s nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence showing that the Islamic Republic’s civilian nuclear program has been diverted to nuclear weapons production.
