Pompeo said that one of the countries that want to sell weapons to Iran is China, and that it will make big money thanks to that, and he expressed his conviction that China will buy some systems from Iran, and that this must be prevented.

Pompeo added that if China violated the US sanctions regime against Iran, Washington would force it to take responsibility, describing Iran and China as the two biggest violators of human rights.

The US Secretary of State indicated that he expects the re-imposition of international sanctions on Iran next fall, which will reduce the scope for dealing between China and Iran.

Pompeo returned, last Tuesday, to reiterate his country's determination to hold Iran accountable and stop its subversive activities in the region.
