The UK and US believe that Iran was behind a tanker attack that killed two people and have vowed to respond, calling it a violation of international law.
The tanker, which is operated by an Israeli-owned firm, was attacked off Oman on Thursday. A British national and Romanian citizen was killed.
These statements came after Israel’s Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett, said that there was “evidence” that Iran was responsible for the tanker attack.
Mr. Bennett warned that “we know how to send a message to Iran in our own way”, while Tehran rejected what it called the “baseless accusations”.
For months there have been several attacks on both Israeli and Iranian-operated vessels, which are seen as tit-for-tat incidents, although casualties are rare.
Iran has also accused Israel of targeting its nuclear sites and scientists.
