“We endorse the U.S. administration’s efforts to apply further pressure on the Iranian regime,” a Foreign Office spokesman said. “We are prepared to lead the way to a third resolution of sanctions and at the same time support tougher European Union sanctions.”
In a bid to pressure Tehran to halt its nuclear program, the United States earlier designated Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps a proliferator of weapons of mass destruction and its elite Qods force a supporter of terrorism.
