Iran has warned it would retaliate against the US if Washington takes any action against Iranian tanker shipments to Venezuela.
Last week, Reuters reported the US is considering measures against Iran’s recent fuel-for-gold swap deal with Venezuela as the two countries face tough sanctions from the US.
“The US threat is an illegal and blatant act, and if they do something, we will retaliate,” Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said in a media briefing on Monday.
