The UK Foreign Office is to summon a senior Iranian diplomat to protest against his president's comments about destroying Israel.
Hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called for the Jewish state to be "wiped off the map".
The Foreign Office will call in Iran's London chargé d'affaires on Thursday. It said the comments were "deeply disturbing and sickening".
The remarks have heightened concerns over Iran's nuclear intentions.
'Horrible reality'
At least five people were killed in what police say was a suicide bomb attack in northern Israel on Wednesday.
An FO spokesman said this showed "the horrible reality of the violence he [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] is praising".
Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom has said Iran is regarded as "a clear and present danger".
He said it was clear that Iran was trying to develop a programme to make nuclear weapons.
Iran denies this, but insists it has the right to pursue a civilian nuclear programme for peaceful purposes.
At least five people died and up to 30 were wounded in the bomb attack near a market place in Hadera, northern Israel.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad group said it carried out the attack in revenge for Israel's killing of its senior leader, Luay Saadi, on Monday.
