Iran's weekend attack on Israel could prompt additional Western sanctions on the Islamic Republic, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Tuesday, addressing the potential global economic damage from the rising tensions in the Middle East.
Yellen said the United States and its allies won't hesitate to impose sanctions on Tehran for Iran's 'malign and destabilizing activity' in the Middle East.
Tehran's attack on Israel, the first of its kind from Iranian territory, was in retaliation for what Iran says was an Israeli strike on its consulate in Syria earlier this month that killed seven members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
