Iran will not alter stance on hostages over sanctions
Iran’s Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh said there will be no change in Tehran’s position on the U S hostages at the embassy as long as international economic sanctions persist. He warned the hostages could be tried as spies if sanctions continue, while noting Iran hopes for a Soviet veto at the U N. Security Council. The report also cites tensions with Afghanistan and unrest in Tabriz as the crisis persists.
