Iran lashes out at new U.S. sanctions bill

Warning Washington against taking "any further steps on its present path," Iranian Parliament Speaker Gholam Ali Haddad Adel said that the U.S. sanctions bill indicated that Washington was still following the same approach towards Tehran and was not inclined towards revising its policies.

He made the remarks at an open session of the Iranian parliament on Sunday, local Fars News Agency reported.

The top lawmaker said that the measure proved that U.S. officials "had not yet taken a good lesson from the present conditions dominating the world."

"Such sanctions are more detrimental to the United States than Iran," said Adel, adding that his country was "well familiar with and used to experiencing sanctions." Xinhua
