Iran warned about Israel's presence in the Persian Gulf and said the regime and its American ally will be responsible for any consequences resulting from the US’ so-called maritime coalition in the region.

Iran Press/Iran news: "Israeli regime’s presence in the Persian Gulf will be deemed as a clear threat to the security, sovereignty, and integrity of Iran and the Persian Gulf's security," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said on Friday.

"Should Israel, join this coalition, Iran will reserve the right to defend itself and tackle such threat within its defensive doctrine," he added reacting to the regime’s announcement that it would join the US’ so-called maritime coalition in the Persian Gulf.

According to Iran Press, the spokesman warned that the responsibility for all the consequences of such a  move will fall upon the US and Israel.

Earlier this week, Israeli Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz said the regime is going to cooperate with the US coalition in the Persian Gulf.

US administration has recently put forward a proposal to set up a naval task force in the Persian Gulf to counter what it calls the 'Iran threat' as tensions mount between Washington and Tehran.
