EU agrees new sanctions on Iran: EU official

LUXEMBOURG (Reuters) - European Union states agreed a new round of sanctions against Iran on Monday over its refusal to meet international demands to curb its nuclear program, an EU official said.

The Iran sanctions were on a list of policy proposals put to EU ministers at a meeting in Luxembourg. EU diplomats have said the new sanctions include measures to target Iran's biggest bank, Bank Melli, with an asset and funds freeze.
