Security of the Persian Gulf is a red line for Iran.
He said: "Iran is concerned about the obvious violation that Britain did against the Iranian oil tanker in international waters. My strong advice to the British government is to pay attention to its responsibilities and duties. The security of the Persian Gulf is a red line for Iran, and we did our best to protect this waterway from the insecurities orchestrated by the countries like Britain."
Khatibzadeh stated: "The fact that Britain has sided with the rebellious and notorious Zionist regime shows the position of this country."
He expressed his condolences to the families of the two victims of the attack from Britain and Romania and expressed his condolences to them.

At the same time, they kept silent for months about the aggression of the Zionist regime and its piracy of the regime and the state terrorism and sabotage against the merchant ships frequently; they should not take such irresponsible positions.
