Iran warns it will retaliate “decisively” if the United States carries out President Donald Trump’s threats of fresh attacks on Iranian targets. Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araqchi, delivers the warning in phone calls with senior officials from Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, urging them to avoid what he describes as “adventurous action” by the U.S. He also frames the issue as tied to broader regional instability and warns of consequences from U.S. “destabilizing actions.” Araqchi later tells Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan that any U.S. and Israeli attacks, or participation by regional countries, would be met with a “proportionate response.”
The comments come shortly after Kuwait’s army says it destroyed hostile drones launched by Iran that targeted several vital facilities. While the outlets attribute details to Kuwaiti statements and to Araqchi’s public postings, none of the reports provide additional confirmation of the drone incident beyond what Kuwait’s military described. The reported communications and warnings underscore rising tensions but do not specify timing or the nature of any potential new U.S. action.
