What happened
U.S. officials warned that the United States was 'quite likely' to impose secondary sanctions on Chinese financial institutions if they did not alter their conduct regarding financial flows to Iran. This warning came amid concerns over alleged Chinese support for Tehran during the West Asia conflict. The U.S. administration also noted that China was providing drone parts and dual-use chemicals to Iran, while supporting Iran's oil purchases.
