Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spoke with Saudi counterpart Prince Faisal bin Farhan on Saturday evening, warning that any aggression or hostile action by the US and Israel, as well as regional cooperation or support for such actions, will be met with a 'firm and appropriate response' from Iran's armed forces, according to an N12 report citing Iranian sources. Araghchi stressed that responsibility for any consequences would fall on those who initiated the 'adventures.'
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's call with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan on Saturday evening extends a diplomatic flurry that began earlier in the day. As The Zioneer reported earlier (Sat 23:11), Araghchi held calls with the Pakistani military chief and the Turkish foreign minister, warning against US provocation and declaring Iran's readiness to defend its sovereignty. The addition of Saudi Arabia, a key regional power that has previously mediated between Iran and the West, signals a broader effort to contain the fallout of rising tensions. In the call, Araghchi emphasized that any aggression by the US and Israel, or regional support for such actions, would draw a 'firm and appropriate response' from Iran's armed forces, according to N12. The Saudi response was not immediately reported. The diplomatic outreach suggests Tehran is attempting to manage the escalation while maintaining a posture of deterrence.
