Iran Warns UK Over Blacklisting of Citizens
TEHRAN -- Iran on Friday warned the UK parliament over its “unconstructive” push to impose sanctions on some Iranian individuals, saying it will only add more complications to the existing situation.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh was reacting to a move by British parliamentarians to read out the names of three Iranians who they believe should be added to the sanctions list over human rights issues. “We strongly reject the baseless and unfounded accusations leveled against our compatriots.”
