The reimposition of UN sanctions on Iran will allow the Islamic Republic to act without “constraint,” its ambassador to the UN warned Thursday. His comments follow US efforts to extend an arms embargo on Iran and US statements on reimposing UN sanctions should that fail.

“If that happens, Iran will not be under constraint as to what course of action it should take,” Majid Ravanchi told reporters, according to The Associated Press. “All options for Iran will be open.”
