China said Tuesday it regrets Iran s decision to exceed a limit on enriched uranium reserves under a 2015 nuclear deal, but said US "maximum pressure is the root cause" of tensions.
"We call on all parties to view this from a long term and overall perspective, exercise restraint and uphold the JCPOA (nuclear deal) together so that there won t be further escalation in the tense situation," foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said at a regular press briefing.
