On Thursday, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said his country was ready to use force against Iran after it attacked the tanker in the Arabian Sea.
"Iran warns against any such adventurism and miscalculations. Yet, Iran will not hesitate to defend itself and secure its national interests", Ershadi said in a statement.
Ershadi also "categorically" rejected the accusations made by Israel that Iran bears responsibility for the attack on the oil tanker.
