'Iran war ‘disaster’ for global economy'

China's ambassador to the European Union says any potential military confrontation with Iran over its nuclear energy program will be a “disaster” for the global economy.

"I couldn't think of any worse proposals to resolve the Iranian issue than resolving it by force," Wu Hailong said in a Friday briefing with foreign journalists, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Touching upon the financial ramifications of any potential aggression against the Islamic Republic, he said, "I don't know what kind of disaster there could be in oil prices."

Wu, formerly China's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), further warned against setting any kind of deadlines to produce a breakthrough in the upcoming multifaceted talks between Iran and the six major world powers.

"I think patience is one of the most important things," he said.
