Chinese envoy urges U.S. to lift all illegal sanctions against Iran

The U.S. must lift all sanctions against Tehran before Iran can resume full compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), known as the Iran nuclear deal, said Wang Qun, Chinese envoy to the United Nations and other international organizations in Vienna, on Tuesday.

China will continue to unswervingly maintain the JCPOA, and the key to reviving the nuclear talks is that the U.S. side should remove all illegal sanctions against Iran, Wang said after the JCPOA meeting, which resumed talks on Tuesday.
