EU leaders warn Iran over Holocaust remarks

The Iranian president’s recent remarks denying the Holocaust could be grounds for sanctions against Iran, EU leaders have warned.

They issued their warning to Tehran today in a draft summit statement in Brussels.

They told Tehran they will keep their “diplomatic options under close review” for possible sanctions against Iran, diplomats said.

European leaders condemned Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for calling the Holocaust a “myth” earlier this week.
