Iran says new US sanctions on missile work show "ill will"

DUBAI, May 18 (Reuters) Iran said today that new US sanctions targeting its ballistic missile programme show Washington's "ill will" and could undermine the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers, state television reported.

The US Treasury yesterday sanctioned two senior Iranian defence officials, an Iranian company, a Chinese man and three Chinese firms for backing ballistic missile development in Iran. Separately, however, Washington also extended wider sanctions relief for Iran called for under the nuclear accord.
