Defense Minister Bnei Gantz said today (Wednesday) that Israel will take action against the escalating attacks by Iran.

This, after the attack on the ship in the Gulf of Oman, which was attributed to the Islamic Republic.

"Iran will be more dangerous and destructive to the region than it has been so far and will strive to become an existential threat to Israel," Ganz said in a plenary speech.

"We will work to remove any such threat."



Gantz warned of hundreds of Iranian UAVs "that are all over the Middle East," saying that "we will come to terms with anyone who seeks to harm us in time." To an area that has existed until now, and will strive to become an existential threat to Israel.

We will work to remove any such threat. "

He counted the attacks that Iran carried out in the area and referred to the killing of crew members on Friday on the Japanese-owned ship "Mercer Street" and run by an Israeli company.

"Iran's aggression in the region in general and on the naval front in particular is exacerbating: in the past year there have been no less than five Iranian attacks on international ships, some using unmanned aerial vehicles made by Iranian military industry."



"The latest attack that has killed two civilians who were not involved in the fighting, in violation of international law and human morality, is an escalation. "Terrorism that affects hundreds of UAVs - in Iran, Yemen, Iraq and other countries," he added.

Johnson: Iran must bear the consequences of its actions

At the same time, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid agreed with what British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in response to the Iranian attack.

"Jenson is right," Lapid said, "Iran must bear the consequences."

Shortly before that, the British Prime Minister said that "Iran has carried out a shocking attack on a commercial vessel - it must bear the consequences of its actions".

The first incident with casualties.

Earlier today, Iran warned that it would respond immediately to any threat to its security, after Israel, the United States and Britain warned of the consequences of attacking the tanker.



Iran and Israel have accused each other of attacking each other's vessels in recent months, as part of a naval battle between the two converted enemies revealed earlier this year.

However, the latest incident was the first in which there were casualties, and it threatens to escalate tensions in the region and outwit difficulties in resuming nuclear talks between the powers and Iran.
