️🇺🇸🇮🇷🇨🇳 President of Iran Pazhkian on whether China will help finance its army:

Interviewer:

"Well, China buys most of your oil. Still. Is Beijing paying for this war?"

Pzheshkian:

"One of the problems we face is that our money in China is blocked. The fact that you touched earlier on the accusations that we provide so-and-so with financing, we can't even take our money out of the country to which we supplied goods, let alone use these funds to pay someone else in another corner of the world. So the framing of this as reported by the company is not correct."
