Iran on Thursday warned Israel against taking military action against it following Israel’s threats to retaliate for its attack on the Israeli-operated MT Mercer Street.

�In another brazen violation of international law, Israeli regime now blatantly threatens Iran with military action,� Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh stated.

�We state this clearly: ANY foolish act against Iran will be met with a DECISIVE response,” Khatibzadeh threatened. “Don�t test us.”

Last week, Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that Israel is prepared to strike Iran.

�We are at a point where we need to take military action against Iran,� Gantz said. �The world needs to take action against Iran now.�
