Iran has issued a stern warning to the United States against any “adventurous action” targeting Iranian interests, pledging decisive retaliation if American forces act on President Donald Trump’s threats of new attacks.
On Saturday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi conveyed these warnings during separate phone calls with senior officials from Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. These discussions followed reports from Kuwait’s army that it had destroyed hostile drones launched by Iran against vital facilities.
Araqchi told Pakistan’s Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan that Iran would respond firmly to any aggression and highlighted the destabilizing consequences of US actions, as noted on Araqchi’s Telegram account. He further informed Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan that any attacks by the US and Israel, or involvement by regional countries, would be met with a “proportionate response.”
Additionally, Nournews, affiliated with Iran’s top security body, stated that US strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure would trigger Iranian attacks on oilfields in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, as well as gas fields in Qatar and Israel, warning that “all will be burned to ashes.”
Meanwhile, at a cabinet meeting held on Friday at the Camp David retreat, President Trump expressed optimism that US negotiators, including Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, could still reach a deal with Iran.
