China, Russia, and Iran Urge End to U.S. Sanctions on Tehran
Diplomats from the three nations meet in Beijing to discuss Iran's nuclear program and call for renewed negotiations.
- China, Russia, and Iran held talks in Beijing, emphasizing the need to lift what they describe as 'unilateral illegal sanctions' imposed on Tehran by the U.S.
- The discussions focused on Iran's nuclear program, with China proposing a five-point plan aimed at resolving the issue diplomatically.
- Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, though recent reports indicate accelerated uranium enrichment nearing weapons-grade levels.
- The U.S., under President Trump, has intensified sanctions and warned of potential military action if Iran does not limit its nuclear activities.
- Iran's leadership remains divided on engaging with the U.S., with some officials suggesting indirect negotiations in neutral venues like Oman.
