Iran Sees Sanctions Talk as Empty Threat
(AFP) Iran said Thursday that talk of sanctions by world powers against the Islamic republic over its nuclear program is just an empty threat. President Obama said Tuesday that the new measures could be levied within weeks. However, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast responded, "The talk of sanctions is a threat that has been ineffective over the past 30 years."
