Iran vows trials if UN sanctions block hostages
Iran's Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh warned that if the United Nations approves sanctions, the American hostages would be put on trial as spies. He said a Soviet abstention would be a vote in favor of the U.S. embargo and the hostages could face grand jury or revolutionary trials. He also indicated Iran would review its stance, with a presidential bid by him noted as registration closes. Disturbances were reported in western provinces as the crisis continued.
