International pressure escalated on Tehran after it was blamed for the attack on an oil tanker late last month in the Sea of ​​Oman that killed two people, at a time when the US Central Command confirmed that American experts concluded that the drone that targeted it was Iranian-made.

The foreign ministers of the Group of Seven said that what they called Iran's approach and its support for armed forces and parties threaten international peace and security.

In a joint statement, the foreign ministers added that all evidence points to Iran's responsibility for the attack on the Mercer Street, and condemned it as a "deliberate violation of international law."


exchange charges

For her part, Britain's representative to the Security Council, Barbara Woodward, said that Iran is responsible for the attack, and that its activities and actions are a threat to international peace and security.

On the other hand, the deputy Iranian representative to the Security Council said that the Israeli regime cannot erase its criminal record by assigning charges to others.

She added that the Israeli regime has been the most prominent threat in the region for more than 7 decades.

On July 29, an oil tanker operated by a company owned by an Israeli businessman was attacked off Oman, killing a British security guard and a Romanian citizen of the ship's crew.

The United States, Britain and Israel have previously pointed the finger at Iran, which has denied involvement in the attack.


American promises

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken promised a "joint response" to Tehran, while Iran warned that it would respond to any "adventurism" after threats from Israel and Washington.

For his part, the Pentagon spokesman said that Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with his Israeli counterpart Benny Gantz about "Iran's attack on the ship", and expressed his concern about Iran's use of drones in the region.

He added that the two ministers "agreed to work with allies to condemn Iran's threat to navigation and discussed next steps," and that Austin affirmed "the United States' commitment to work for the security of the region."
