In meetings in Beijing, Chinese officials expressed their opposition to any referral of the Iranian nuclear issue to the U.N. Security Council, where China is a permanent, veto-wielding member, Hossein Mousavian said.


"They are against referral of the Iranian issue to the Security Council," he told a news conference in Beijing.


Such a Chinese stand could be a blow to U.S. efforts to report Iran to the U.N. Security Council for possible sanctions.
