The Iranian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday condemned the most recent European Union and British sanctions against Iranian individuals and organizations, calling them “baseless and illegal.” Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said in a press release that the sanctions constituted an illegitimate interference in Iran’s internal affairs, and promised that Iran would respond proportionately to the measures.
