Iran threatens retaliation
Iran yesterday strongly condemned new sanctions imposed by the European Union and Britain and said it would retaliate, after the West stepped up pressure on Iran over its crackdown on protests. "The Islamic Republic will soon announce the list of new sanctions against the human rights violators of EU and England," Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said in a statement. The EU imposed sanctions on more than 30 Iranian officials and organisations, including units of Revolutionary Guards.
