US to pressure Iran

The US said it will increase international pressure on Iran, which it alleges is behind a plot to kill the Saudi ambassador in Washington.



Two Iranians have been charged with conspiracy over what US officials said was a plan conceived and directed by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps.



The UK government has called the plot shocking and said it would support US measures to hold Iran accountable.



Iran has dismissed the allegations as false and baseless.
