Summary
Abbas Araqchi told Turkish, Pakistani and Saudi counterparts on Saturday that Iran would answer any new U.S. attack with a decisive, proportionate response, extending the warning to regional countries that join such action.
Hours earlier, Kuwait’s army said it destroyed hostile drones launched by Iran at several vital facilities, underscoring how quickly the confrontation is spilling toward Gulf infrastructure.
Saudi Arabia moved to gauge Washington’s intentions after Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spoke with Donald Trump and sought clarity on possible U.S. plans for Iran, according to a U.S. official cited by Axios.
The warning builds on Iran’s threats over the past two days to hit U.S., Israeli and energy targets if struck, deepening fears of a broader regional conflict.
