Iran Condemns New U.S. Sanctions, Vows to Pursue Missile Program
(Los Angeles Times) Ramin Mostaghim - "We will continue with full power our missile program," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi told state television IRIB on Saturday, dismissing new sanctions passed by Congress last week as "hostile, reprehensible and unacceptable." Nader Karimi Juni, an analyst close to Rouhani's government, said Iranian leaders don't believe the UN and European powers will ultimately back the U.S., and so Iran "will not compromise on missile projects and will remain defiant."
