The US has brought sanctions back, hitting Iran's oil, shipping and banking industries. Washington's measures are sure to hurt the country's already ailing economy. But Tehran would have hoped it could count on its friends in Europe. Well, perhaps not for long. Denmark has called for even tougher action against Tehran after it said it discovered an Iranian plot to kill an opposition activist. The threat of further sanctions is now very real. At a meeting of EU leaders, several countries, including the UK and France, supported the Danish call to punish Iran.
