"China will do everything necessary to firmly safeguard its rights and interests," Lin told a briefing, commenting on Bessent's statement. China's cooperation with Iran complies with international law at all times and should not be subject to external interference, the diplomat said. US President Donald Trump announced the launch of an economic operation against Iran on August 20, calling it "isolation on an unprecedented scale." He urged US allies to join Washington.

The US would block every potential source of revenue that funds the Iranian government, he added.

China to Resolutely Defend Own Interests Despite US Pressure Over Iran - Foreign Ministry
BEIJING (Sputnik) - China will take all necessary measures to resolutely protect its legitimate interests despite the pressure coming from the United States due to Beijing's support of Tehran, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Tuesday.
"China will do everything necessary to firmly safeguard its rights and interests," Lin told a briefing, commenting on Bessent's statement.
China's cooperation with Iran complies with international law at all times and should not be subject to external interference, the diplomat said.
"China has made clear on many occasions its firm opposition to illicit unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law or the authorization of the UN Security Council," he added.
US President Donald Trump announced the launch of an economic operation against Iran on August 20, calling it "isolation on an unprecedented scale." He urged US allies to join Washington.
Earlier in the day, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that the US economic operation would be aimed at Iran and any countries that support it. The US would block every potential source of revenue that funds the Iranian government, he added.
