Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSpeaking to the BBC, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif issues a veiled warning when asked about a push for new sanctions by Israel, the US and Saudi Arabia.
“I advise them not only to respect the international law, but to be prudent enough not to get themselves in serious trouble,” Zarif says, according to a short clip of the interview published by the BBC.
Zarif also says “I certainly hope that prudence will prevail because Iran is not an easy target.
“We will defend ourselves. I do not believe that people looking at our history, people looking at our capabilities will ever make the decision to engage in that misadventure,” Zarif says, according to the BBC.
