On Sunday, August 2nd, 2026, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi issued a stern warning that any aggression by the United States or Israel would be met with a "decisive and proportionate response." Araghchi conveyed this message during separate phone calls with the foreign ministers of Turkiye, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia.
In parallel, US embassies across the Middle East have alerted their citizens to prepare for "unforeseen escalation". This advisory came a day after then-President Donald Trump threatened to strike Iran "very hard."
These developments underscore rising tensions in the region, with Iran signaling readiness to respond firmly to any hostile actions from the US or Israel, while US diplomatic missions caution about potential instability.
