Ahead of Trump’s cancellation of threatened attacks this morning, Iran’s Araghchi warned the US against any adventurous action and said it would retaliate decisively if American forces followed through on the threat, according to a government statement.

The foreign minister’s comments in separate phone calls on Saturday with senior Pakistani, Turkish and Saudi officials came just hours after Kuwait’s army said it destroyed hostile drones launched by Iran against several vital facilities.

Speaking to Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Asim Munir and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Araghchi said Iran would respond decisively to any “aggression” and discussed the consequences of destabilising actions” by the US, as well as prospects for heightened regional insecurity, according to Araghchi’s Telegram account.
