The Chinese government informed its Iranian counterpart today (Tuesday, September 1, 2026) that it is “keen to protect its own interests” against the sanctions that the United States has begun to impose on Iran.
According to the Telegram channel of Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi informed his Iranian counterpart that the Chinese government calls for an end to the war in all its forms and affirms that sanctions “will not resolve the six-month-long conflict.”
She continued, “The minister also informed Araqchi that the new US sanctions will include countries that cooperate economically with Iran,” stressing Beijing’s intention to “protect its economic interests,” as she described it.
It is noted that the foreign ministers of the two countries met during the Shanghai Economic Summit, which is currently being held in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan.
