Iran threatens of 'winter in cold' for EU nations supporting sanctions

NICOSIA — Iran has threatened to retaliate for any Western-led sanctions.   

A senior Iranian official warned that Teheran would sever energy supplies to European Union states that participate in sanctions on Iran. The official said Iran's missile arsenal already poses a clear threat to most of Europe.

"Iran is standing on 50 percent of the world's energy and should it so decide Europe will have to spend the winter in cold," Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp deputy chief of staff Gen. Hossein Salami said.

Addressing Iranian war veterans on Feb. 28, Salami's statement marked the first warning by Teheran that Europe would be a prime target of the mullah regime.

He said Teheran could retaliate for any Western sanctions, including a gasoline embargo on Iran.

Salami also said Teheran could strike any target in Europe with Iranian ballistic missiles. Iran was said to have developed or acquired missiles with a range of up to 3,000 kilometers.

"Our missiles are now able to target any spot in which the conspirators are in, and the country is making advances in all fields," Salami said.
