| Iran Slams Talk of More EU Sanctions as 'Irresponsible' |
| 2012-09-10 |
| [An Nahar] Iran on Sunday hit out at talk of more EU sanctions being applied against it as "irresponsible," singling out Britannia for raising the prospect it claimed went against U.N. nuclear watchdog regulations. Foreign ministry front man Ramin Mehmanparast issued a statement relayed by state broadcaster IRIB calling Western sanctions "ineffective" and "obsolete." He was reacting to comments made by EU foreign ministers, meeting in Cyprus on Saturday, who said a "growing consensus" was forming to impose new punitive measures on Iran to pressure it further to make concessions on its disputed nuclear program. |
