China warns US over breaking Iran nuclear deal
The international nuclear deal with Iran "should not be affected by any changes in the domestic situations of the countries concerned," Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Monday at a news conference in Beijing with his Iranian counterpart, in an apparent reference to US President-elect Donald Trump.
Trump has called the Iran nuclear accord "one of the worst deals I've ever seen negotiated" and vowed to renegotiate or tear it up. Many Republicans in Congress want to scrap the deal entirely and impose sanctions to counter what they say are Iran's destabilizing activities in the Middle East and hostility towards Israel.
The nuclear deal signed last year between Iran and six world powers - China, Russia, the United States, France, Germany, and Britain - dropped crippling international sanctions on Tehran in exchange for Iran's giving up its nuclear capabilities. The deal went into effect in January and all sides have largely abided by it.
