TEHRAN – An Iranian official have warned against threats against Iran in view of allegations against the Islamic Republic concerning an accident for an Israeli tanker in the Sea of Oman, saying Iran will give a firm response to any move against its national interests.

On Sunday, the United States and Britain blamed Iran for the accident without presenting any evidence.

“Even though the Islamic Republic of Iran considers threats of Western officials and those of the Zionist regime as propaganda, any move against the interests and national security of Iran will face a tough and firm response, and Washington and London will be directly responsible for its consequences,” the official told Nour News on Monday.
