Asked about Trump’s upcoming visit to China, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei says Iran’s FM Abbas Araghchi conveyed Tehran’s views during his visit to Beijing last week, Al Jazeera reports.

“China is fully aware that this was a war of necessity. It was a war imposed on Iran. It was not an emergency incident, yet it is a continuation of unilateral actions of the United States, which continues to violate international laws and regulations,” Baqaei said.

“To China, stability and security in the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman and the Far East are of top priority, and the Chinese would seize the opportunity to warn of any incalculable measures or unlawful acts by the United States, which would continue to undermine not only the regional security and stability but the global economic security,” he added.
