US measures to disrupt Iran's oil sale is a dangerous escalation - Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in a letter to the UN chief
A handout picture released Iranian State TV IRIB on October 10, 2019, allegedly shows the Iranian crude oil tanker Sabiti sailing in the Red Sea.
A senior official in US President Donald Trump's administration told Reuters on Thursday the United States was considering measures it could take in response to Iran's shipment of fuel to crisis-stricken Venezuela. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi passed on a message to the Swiss ambassador on Sunday warning against any US threat against the Iranian tankers, according to a report on the foreign ministry website.
Iran "reserves its right to take all appropriate and necessary measures and decisive action ... to secure its legitimate rights and interests against such bullying policies and unlawful practices," Zarif wrote to Guterres.
