Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi Warns US of Decisive Response
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi warned the United States against taking any "adventurous" military actions, saying those responsible would bear the full consequences. He told officials from Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia that Iran is prepared to safeguard its sovereignty, territorial integrity and security, and would respond decisively to any act of aggression.
Araghchi added that any hostile US or Israeli strike, and any regional support for such actions, would trigger a firm, proportionate response from Iran’s armed forces. The warning came after renewed US airstrikes on Iranian targets following a brief pause, and after Iran’s foreign ministry accused Washington of violating a June peace memorandum by continuing strikes, blockading ports and applying economic pressure.
In related developments, Kuwait’s army reported intercepting hostile drones launched by Iran, causing debris damage but no injuries. US President Donald Trump expressed frustration with Tehran, saying he was losing faith in talks and threatened further attacks. The heightened tension has also lifted Brent crude futures and raised concerns for commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
