TEHRAN, June 04 - The US announced their exit from the Iran nuclear deal in May, with President Donald Trump criticizing it as "flawed." Other parties to the deal, including European US allies, have confirmed their adherence to its provisions despite the threat of possible US sanctions.

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying has announced that China stands firmly against unilateral sanctions mechanisms and is planning on keeping trade relations with Iran in accordance with international agreements.

"China and Iran unwaveringly maintain normal trade and economic ties. China will continue to cooperate with Iran adhering to its international obligations," the spokeswoman said.

She strongly slammed the practice of imposing sanctions on the basis of domestic legislature and assured that Beijing would protect the implementation of the Iran deal provisions.

US President Donald Trump announced on May 8 that the US would withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), an international agreement reached in 2015 by Iran, the United States, Russia, France, China, the UK, Germany and the EU. The deal was designed to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and to ensure the peaceful nature of its nuclear program, lifting economic sanctions against the country in return.
