Iran said new sanctions imposed by the European Union over its nuclear plans could hurt diplomatic efforts to resolve the dispute. On Monday, the European Union agreed on punitive measures aimed at businesses and individuals the West says are linked to Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs. The sanctions include an asset freeze on Iran’s largest bank, Bank Melli, and visa bans on some officials. A Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mohammad Ali Hosseini, called the move “illegal” and made clear it would not slow Iran’s nuclear work.
