Iranian ballistic missiles attract new sanctions

Iran may be under pressure from new sanctions, French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Eyraud said. He added that Paris condemned the Iranian tests of new ballistic missiles.

‘‘Certainly, we condemn the missile tests. Sanctions will be imposed if necessary,’’ Eyraud said at a meeting with the heads of the German Foreign Ministry, the US, the UK, Italy and Federica Mogherini, who is responsible for EU diplomacy, RIA Novosti reports. "Of course we condemn the ballistic tests, and, if necessary, sanctions will be taken."
