BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s foreign ministry on Wednesday reiterated that all sides should continue to uphold the Iran nuclear agreement, and that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said many times Iran is in compliance with the deal.
Speaking at a daily news briefing, ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said China had noted reports about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unveiling what he called evidence of a secret Iranian nuclear weapons programme as well as the reaction sparked by the disclosure.
The IAEA is the only international body with the right to supervise the agreement and make judgements about it, and China has noted that the agency has said several times Iran is in compliance, Hua said.
All sides need to continue upholding the pact, she added.
