Iran on Monday dismissed US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's warning over its nuclear programme, as Britain ordered its financial companies to cease trading with two firms from the Islamic republic.

Foreign ministry spokesman Hassan Ghashghavi said Tehran would not listen to talk of deadlines, but added that it was committed to following international law when it comes to its nuclear programme.

He also repeated Iran's defiant tone that uranium enrichment was its "non-negotiable" right.

London, meanwhile, barred British financial firms from trading with Iran's Bank Mellat and Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines amid alleged nuclear links.

Can anything other than war be the result?

Iran and the West were supposed to have been resolving this crisis face to face. Direct talks have failed, obviously. Is this why the US has directed its attention away from reinforcing Afghanistan with more troops? Are the US troops being prepared to topple the Islamic Republic of Iran?
