In response to media questions about the US decision, she pointed out that previous listings of commercial entities were similarly based on mere suspicions.

The Spokesperson emphasized that such double standards and discriminatory practices weaken the credibility of international nonproliferation efforts, exacerbate military imbalances, and pose risks to global peace and security.
