Iran warns Israel not to cross its “red lines” in the Gulf in the final days of Donald Trump’s presidency and following a reported Israeli submarine deployment.
Foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh stresses the Islamic Republic would defend itself against any American military “adventure” in the runup to the January 20 handover of power in Washington.
The statement comes a week after the US Navy announced a nuclear submarine was being deployed to the Gulf, in a new show of force directed at Iran.
Media in Israel have since reported that an Israeli submarine has crossed the Suez Canal also headed for the Gulf, a report that has not been officially confirmed or denied.

A Saudi court sentenced prominent women’s rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul to nearly six years in prison, her family said, after her conviction in a trial that has drawn international condemnation.
The verdict and sentence pose a challenge to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s relationship with United States President-elect Joe Biden, who has criticised Riyadh’s human rights record.
