Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi warned against any "adventurous action" by the US and stated Iran would retaliate decisively if American forces attack Iranian targets, following threats from President Donald Trump. These comments were made during separate phone calls on Saturday with Turkish, Pakistani, and Saudi officials. The warnings came shortly after Kuwait's army reported destroying Iranian drones targeting vital facilities. Araqchi conveyed to Pakistan's Army Chief and Turkey's Foreign Minister that Iran would respond to any "aggression" and discussed potential regional insecurity. He also informed Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister that attacks by the US and Israel, or regional participation, would result in a "proportionate response." An Iranian media outlet affiliated with the supreme security body suggested US attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure could lead to Iranian strikes on oil and gas fields in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Israel.
