Top envoy’s remarks come amid speculation Washington may entice Beijing to pressure Tehran into accepting a peace deal
“Iran and China … share very common views on issues such as security, peace, development in the region and in the world,” Rahmani Fazli said on Friday.
“And in view of such deeply rooted relations … we never consider the possibility that the US would be able to put any pressure on China and change their stance and view concerning their relations with Iran,” Tehran’s top envoy to Beijing added.
Beijing has yet to confirm the dates for Trump’s visit, but the White House said a two-day visit would start on May 14.
