Beijing [China], April 7 (ANI): The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Wednesday said that boycotting the upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing would go against the spirit of the Olympic Charter after the United States hinted at the idea of discussing with its partner a possible boycott of the upcoming games.
Responding to question on US boycott of 2022 Winter Games, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian said, As to the so-called rhetoric about boycotting the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, I would also like to stress that politicisation of sports runs counter to the spirit of the Olympic Charter and harms the interests of all athletes as well as the international Olympic cause.

The administration of US President Joe Biden has stressed that it would not accept Iran having a nuclear bomb.
The UN nuclear watchdog said Wednesday that Iran had started producing uranium metal, in a fresh breach of the limits laid out in the 2015 deal which aims to ensure Tehran cannot acquire a nuclear weapon.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran had begun producing small amounts of uranium metal, a process that is prohibited under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
