Read, Watch or Listen

Iran warned against any adventurous action by the United States and stated it would retaliate decisively if American forces follow through on President Donald Trump's threats of fresh attacks. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi made the comments during separate phone calls with senior Turkish, Pakistani, and Saudi officials. The warning followed an announcement by Kuwait's army that it successfully destroyed hostile drones launched by Iran against several vital facilities. Speaking to Pakistani Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Araqchi emphasized that Tehran would respond to any aggression and discussed the regional consequences of destabilizing actions by Washington. Simultaneously, U.S. embassies across the Middle East issued security warnings advising American citizens to prepare for unforeseen escalations. The diplomatic warnings came a day after President Trump threatened fresh strikes against Iranian targets via social media channels.
