Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, has issued a stark warning to the United States and Israel, stating that a potential Israeli military attack in the Persian Gulf region could have devastating consequences. Araghchi cautioned on social media platform X that such an escalation, initiated by Israel, could severely impact global markets, causing significant concern for both gas suppliers and consumers. He further elaborated that a new military operation in the region could negatively affect international trade and the energy sector.
This warning comes amid discussions in the U.S. and Israel regarding the possibility of resuming strikes against Iran. The ongoing confrontation, which began in February with attacks on the Islamic Republic, remains a key source of tension in the Middle East. Previously, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had indicated a potential collaboration with U.S. President Donald Trump to address what he termed an "existential threat" posed by Iran.
Meanwhile, Qatar has presented Iran with a new proposal aimed at ending the current conflict. Qatari mediators delivered an updated draft agreement to Tehran, which is currently under review. Iran is expected to provide its response by the end of the week, according to sources familiar with the negotiations. These discussions are occurring amidst heightened concerns about potential Israeli strikes on Iranian territory in the coming days, a threat that complicates diplomatic efforts.
Adding to the regional tension, reports from The Wall Street Journal suggest the U.S. is preparing for a possible continuation of military operations. Washington has reportedly urged several Arab nations in the Persian Gulf to prepare for a potentially short but intense military campaign that could commence after the U.S. midterm elections on November 3. The specifics of the Qatari proposal and the willingness of Iran and other parties to make concessions remain unclear, with the future of the diplomatic process hinging on Tehran's position and the parties' commitment to dialogue.
