Sun Lei, China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, spoke at the Security Council's public meeting on Iran's nuclear issue on the 10th, urging a return to the path of political and diplomatic resolution of the Iran nuclear issue. Sun Lei said that it has been more than two months since the US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding. However, the Memorandum of Understanding was destroyed soon after it came into effect, military friction continued, and dialogue and negotiations were slow to be put on the agenda. At present, the 60-day cease-fire negotiation window set out in the memorandum of understanding has passed. The US has increased its unilateral sanctions against Iraq and launched a new round of military attacks against Iraq. The US and Iran have attacked each other. The regional situation is once again tense, and the efforts of all parties to persuade and promote peace talks have been seriously thwarted. The Chinese side is highly concerned and deeply concerned about this. Sun Lei pointed out that repeated wars in the Middle East have caused serious damage and losses to people in countries including Iran, and that the spillover effects continue to expand, harming the common interests of the international community. The parties should abandon recourse to or threat of use of force, resume implementation of the memorandum of understanding as soon as possible, push the Iran nuclear issue back on the path of political and diplomatic settlement, and find the greatest common denominator that takes into account the reasonable demands of all parties to achieve a comprehensive and lasting cease-fire, reach a peace agreement, and resolve the Iran nuclear issue through political diplomacy.
