TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — China says it believes Iran was “forced” to reduce its commitment to the 2015 nuclear deal and says the “recent military adventures by the U.S. violated the basic norms governing international relations.” Iran on Sunday abandoned the remaining limits of the agreement in response to the U.S. airstrike that killed its top military commander. The country mourned him Monday. The Chinese foreign ministry spokesman added that “there is no way out by military means, and extreme pressure will not work.” China is among the countries that signed the nuclear deal.
