Today (Wednesday), China reminded Iran and the US that they must return to the framework of the Islamabad Agreement and resume negotiations. This request is made while relations between the two countries have faced many challenges in recent years and tensions in the Middle East continue.
Historical Context of the Islamabad Agreement
The Islamabad Agreement, which was signed by the parties in previous years, aimed to improve relations and reduce tensions between Iran and the US. This agreement was designed as a framework for future dialogues between the two countries, but due to various reasons including political and economic developments, its implementation has faced serious obstacles.

China, as a key player in this arena, has always sought to act as a mediator in negotiations between Iran and the US. Given its close relations with Tehran and its economic interests in the US, this country aims to contribute to regional stability.
Consequences of Not Returning to the Agreement
If Iran and the US do not return to the Islamabad Agreement, the consequences could include increased tensions, reduced economic cooperation, and even exacerbation of humanitarian crises in the region. On the other hand, China may also seek to strengthen its relations with Iran as a strategic partner, trying to support this agreement.
This request from China not only reflects its concerns about the current state of Iran-US relations but also indicates Beijing's desire to play a more active role in resolving regional conflicts. While nuclear negotiations and political tensions between the two countries continue, China hopes that by reminding them of this agreement, it can pave the way for new dialogues.
Ultimately, returning to the Islamabad Agreement could be an opportunity for both countries to come back to the negotiating table with the aim of reducing tensions and finding common solutions. In this regard, China, as a key player on the international stage, will play an important role in facilitating these discussions.
