The threat comes after the famous search engine left the body of water between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula nameless on its online map service.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast says that if Google does not restore the name of the Persian Gulf, it will face "serious damages."
Mehmanparast told the semiofficial Mehr news agency Thursday that Tehran has already warned Google of possible legal action.
