Iran Warns Gulf States Against Supporting US-Israeli Attacks Amid Saudi Call for De-escalation
Amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan that any cooperation with Israeli or American military actions against Iran would provoke a strong response from Iran's armed forces. Araghchi emphasized that those responsible for such provocations would bear the consequences.
Simultaneously, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spoke by phone with US President Donald Trump, urging urgent efforts to calm the situation in the Persian Gulf and prevent further military escalation. This Saudi appeal reflects growing concerns about regional stability and the security of critical energy infrastructure.
These diplomatic exchanges follow recent joint US-Saudi strikes in eastern Iraq targeting pro-Iranian militias, which reportedly killed around 20 Iranian Revolutionary Guard advisors. Earlier on the same day, President Trump canceled a planned extensive strike against Iran, announcing that broad terms for a deal had been reached. He set an ultimatum for an agreement that would eliminate Iran's nuclear threats and open the Strait of Hormuz, responding to requests from Iran and other regional countries to halt military action.
