China opposes US sanctions over Iran, pledges to protect firms

China voiced strong opposition on Monday to U.S. sanctions ‌for three China-based companies that Washington claimed enabled Iran's military operations, calling the curbs illegal and ⁠unilateral.

"We have always required Chinese enterprises to conduct business in accordance with laws and regulations, and will firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of ‌Chinese ⁠enterprises," spokesperson Guo Jiakun told a regular press briefing.

"The pressing priority is to ⁠prevent by all means a relapse in fighting, rather than ⁠using the war to maliciously associate and ⁠smear other countries."
