EU sanctions illegal, says Iran

Iran has condemned as illegal new EU sanctions against Tehran over its uranium enrichment programme.

A foreign ministry spokesman said the sanctions would make Iran more determined to obtain the technology.

On Monday, the EU imposed an asset freeze on Iran's largest bank and added more names to a list of Iranians who are banned from travelling to the EU.

The US and allies accuse Iran of developing nuclear weapons. Iran says its programme is for peaceful purposes.
