France 24: Iran warns against any action over attack on Israeli-managed tanker
Iran on Monday vowed to respond to any "adventurism", its foreign ministry said, after the US and Britain joined Israel in blaming Tehran for a deadly tanker attack, claims it denies.
The MT Mercer Street, managed by prominent Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer, was attacked on Thursday off Oman.
A British security guard and a Romanian crew member were killed in what the United States, Britain and the vessel's operator Zodiac Maritime said appeared to be a drone strike. Israel blamed Iran for the attack, accusations rejected by Tehran.
Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said Sunday that Israel "must stop such baseless accusations".
