Iran: US bears responsibility for any act against tankers heading to Venezuela
Iran's Foreign Ministry has warned again that the United States will itself bear the responsibility for any foolish act that it could take against Venezuela-headed Iranian fuel tankers, Press TV reported.
“The US itself will have to suffer the repercussions that arise out of any unthinking measure [that it could take] against the Iranian vessels,” ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi told reporters during a press briefing in Tehran on Monday.
“Should the Americans take any measure against our vessels’ free and legal movement around, they would face our decisive response,” he warned.
If Washington “does not like a country, this does not give it any grounds to prevent legal trade among countries, [take them under] sanctions, and cause trouble for them,” the official noted, as quoted by the source.
