Iran's supreme leader warned the United States on Sunday that any measures taken against Tehran over an alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Washington would elicit a "resolute" response.

"If US officials have some delusions, [they must] know that any unsuitable act, whether political or security, will meet a resolute response from the Iranian nation," state TV quoted supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as saying.

Two men, including a member of Iran's special foreign actions unit known as the Quds Force, have been charged in New York federal court with conspiring to kill the Saudi diplomat, Adel Al-Jubeir. US officials have said no one was ever in any immediate danger from the plot.
