Iran warns powers will 'regret' new sanctions
[Al Arabiya Latest] President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday that any country which tried to impose new sanctions on Iran would regret its actions, and talks were still going on over a proposed nuclear fuel swap.Ahmadinejad's latest salvo at world powers came as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton toured the Gulf to earn backing for possible sanctions against Iran for defiantly pursuing its nuclear program. "If anybody seeks to create problems for Iran, our response will not be like before," the hard-line Iranian president told a packed news conference in the capital Tehran. Clinton said a new round of sanctions should target Iran's Revolutionary Guards, which she said were driving the Islamic Republic towards a military dictatorship. "Of course, if somebody acts against Iran our response will definitely be firm enough ... (to) make them regretful," Ahmadinejad said without elaborating. "Sanctions will not harm Iran," he added.
