Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, the speaker of Iran's Parliament, has warned countries that abide by newly restored U.N. sanctions will be hit with an Iranian "reciprocal response."
His comments came after the United Nations reimposed sanctions on Iran on Sunday over its nuclear program.
The sanctions will again freeze Iranian assets abroad, halt arms deals with Tehran, and penalize any development of Iran's ballistic missile program, among other measures.
The Islamic Republic recalled its ambassadors to France, Germany, and the U.K. for consultations ahead of the sanctions being reimposed, the state-run IRNA news agency reported.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised the three European nations for "an act of decisive global leadership" for imposing the sanctions on Iran.
