Iran has warned of a decisive retaliation against energy infrastructure in other nations if the United States proceeds with fresh attacks on Iranian targets, according to reports from Cairo. The warning comes amid heightened tensions following recent military actions and escalating threats between the two countries. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi expressed concerns during phone calls with senior officials from Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, emphasizing that any “adventurous action” by the US would provoke a strong response (arabnews.pk).
Kuwait’s military recently confirmed it destroyed hostile drones launched by Iran, targeting key facilities. This incident underscores the growing risk of direct confrontation between Iran and US-backed forces in the region. Meanwhile, US officials have raised concerns about the country’s ability to defend Israel against potential Iranian attacks, citing stretched military resources and a rapid depletion of missile defense systems (dawn.com).
The US has also advised its citizens in the Middle East to prepare for evacuation, following President Donald Trump’s threats of a strong response against Iran. This warning highlights the increasing volatility of the region and the potential for broader conflict. Tehran has reiterated its readiness to strike energy infrastructure in Gulf states and beyond, should the US escalate hostilities (thesun.co.uk).
