Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said on Tuesday that his country is capable of acting alone against Iran even while it rallied global action against the country it blames for the suspected drone attack on Thursday an oil tanker off Oman that killed two crew members, a Briton and a Romanian.
Bennett said Israel had shared intelligence with the United States, Britain and others also tying Iran to the attack.
“We are working to rally the world, but at the same time we also know to act alone,” Bennett said, quoted by Reuters.
“Iran already knows the price we exact when someone threatens our security. The Iranians need to understand that it is impossible to sit placidly in Tehran and ignite the entire Middle East from there. That’s over,” he added.
The United States, Britain and Israel have blamed Iran for the attack on the oil tanker.
Iran has denied any involvement. The country said on Monday it would respond promptly to any threat against its security.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has warned of a “collective response” to the incident.
