Washington: The White House has said that senior members of Iran’s Quds force participated in the alleged plan to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington.
The United States would hold Tehran accountable, he said.
“It’s clear that senior levels of Quds force were engaged in the plotting,” White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters on Wednesday, saying that Washington would respond by intensifying efforts to isolate Iran.
US on Wednesday slapped economic sanctions on Iran Air, saying the airline had provided “material support and services” to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
It said the paramilitary group supported terrorism and committed human rights abuses against protesters.
Carney said White House wants more economic sanctions on Iran.
