TEHRAN. July 26. KAZINFORM -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Europe on Sunday not to join U.S. "plots" against Iran, saying that any cooperation with Washington will be regarded as hostile by the Iranian nation, the official IRNA news agency reported. Kazinform refers to Xinhua.
The Americans have managed to persuade a part of Europe and Russia to join them in their latest anti-Iran scenario, Ahmadinejad made the remark in a festival in Tehran, according to IRNA.
Any actions against Iran including disturbing Iranian airplanes or ships will be met with speedy responses from Iran, the Iranian president was quoted as saying.
Accordingly, U.S. President Barack Obama signed, on July 1, a new Iran sanction bill into law, which is described by him as " striking at the heart" of Iranian government's nuclear ability.
On Thursday, the European Union agreed on sanctions against Iran's energy sector including its oil and gas industry. Kazinform cites Xinhua. See www.xinhuanet.com
