"Insecurity in the Persian Gulf is caused mainly by the US intervention & its #EconomicTerrorism on Iranians," Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted on Tuesday.
"Adding foreign naval fleets in this narrow & crowded tinderbox only increases risk of combustion," he added.
If the US wants maritime security, it should stop its destabilizing behavior," Zarif noted.
Earlier in a separate message, Zarif said "Persian Gulf is vital lifeline and thus nat'l security priority for Iran, which has long ensured maritime security".
He added: "Mindful of this reality, any extra-regional presence is by definition source of insecurity - despite propaganda."
"Iran won't hesitate to safeguard its security," top Iranian diplomat noted.
