Samsung Electronics has clarified over the weekend that its role on a television commercial produced by an Israeli network was limited only on a Galaxy tablet computer being employed in the promotional clip.

Samsung insisted on Saturday that it was not an active participant to the controversial teaser, which showed an actor playing an Israeli intelligence officer remotely triggering the explosion in an Iranian nuclear facility with a Samsung Galaxy Tab.

In a statement, Samsung officials stressed that the Israeli commercial was solely the brainchild of HOT cable channel based in Israel.

"We have absolutely nothing to do with this television spot ... and it should be noted that HOT cable network utilised a GALAXY Tab in its advertisement solely as a promotional gift," Agence France Presse (AFP) reported the South Korean tech giant as declaring on its news release.

The TV commercial earned the ire of the Iranian government, which immediately threatened the banning of Samsung products on Iran.

Speaking on Tehran's state television, senior Iranian legislator Arsalan Fat'hipour called the Israeli commercial as demeaning to the Islamic Republic and its people,

The commercial strongly suggested that Iran was weak and has a primitive society, Fat'hipour said.

On the other hand, Israel played itself as a nation "powerful enough to easily destroy Iran's nuclear facilities or assassinate the country's nuclear scientists," Fat'hipour was quoted by AFP as saying.

But Samsung is quick to distance itself from the anti-Iran campaign of Israel, which media reports said is on the verge of launching an attack on Tehran's alleged nuclear facilities.

"As a member of the global community, Samsung is committed to demonstrating respect for all people and cultures around the globe," the tech firm stressed.

South Korean is an active trade partner of Iran and according to AFP, the Asian country sources 10 percent of its oil needs from the Persian Gulf nation.
