MNA � The head of Iran's Strategic Council on Foreign Relations Kamal Kharrazi said all the country should be ready to confront threats since there is no end to enemies� plots against Iran.

Addressing a local event in Tehran on Sunday, Kharrazi described the release of Grace 1 as a diplomatic victory for Iran and a defeat for England which had detained the supertanker illegally. �Surely, these actions of enemies will not end here and they always plan new conspiracies against us and we should be ready to confront them,� he said.

Gibraltar�s government announced this week it was releasing the supertanker despite pressure from the US for the vessel�s continued detainment. The supertanker, laden with 2.1 million barrels of oil, was illegally detained by British Marines off the coasts of Gibraltar on 4 July. Iran had condemned UK�s measure as �piracy�.

Kharrazi, in his remarks, noted that �we can only confront enemies� bullying behavior through our resistance.�

He went on to say that Iran will continue its resistance approach as far as the country�s problems are solved.
