British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Iran's test fire launch of a long-range missile underlined the case for tougher sanctions against Tehran. In Copenhagen, Britain's Brown said after meeting UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: "I have expressed to him and he has also expressed concern about the test of a long-range missile by Iran.
"This is a matter of serious concern to the international community and it does make the case for us moving further on sanctions. We will treat this with the seriousness it deserves." (Reuters)
