An informed Iranian source says the country will give a strong and crushing response to any measure taken against its national interests and security, blaming Britain and the US for the consequences of such moves against Tehran.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the Islamic Republic of Iran considers threats posed by the officials of Western countries and the Zionist regime to be mostly of propaganda value, any measure against Iran\u2019s interests and national security will be met with strong and crushing response, with Washington and London being directly responsible for consequences of such moves,\u201d the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity with an Iranian news outlet close to the Supreme National Security Council, said on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Iranian source\u2019s remarks came after the United States and the United Kingdom joined Israel in accusing Iran of orchestrating Thursday’s attack on an Israeli tanker off the coast of Oman, despite Tehran\u2019s firm denial.<\/p>\n
