Iran threatens 'action' over new Western sanctions

Iran vowed to respond to fresh sanctions imposed by Britain, Germany, and France over what they said was Tehran's supply of short-range missiles to Russia for use in Ukraine.

"This action of the three European countries is the continuation of the hostile policy of the West and economic terrorism against the people of Iran, which will face the appropriate and proportionate action of the Islamic Republic of Iran," foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said in a statement late Tuesday.
