Iran warns US, Israel against new attacks after Trump, Netanyahu threats

Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has warned the United States and Israel against further strikes, threatening immediate retaliation and declaring that American and Israeli assets will be within range of Iranian forces. According to France 24 and Punch Nigeria, these warnings follow recent threats of military action against the Islamic republic from U.S. President Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Middle East Eye reports that Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Saturday that President Trump has not yet decided whether to resume military action against Iran. This statement comes amid diplomatic efforts to prevent the resumption of the Iran war following the U.S. Midterms. Iranian negotiators have been engaged in talks with Qatari mediators in Doha to discuss paths out of the war, following more than 12 hours of discussions in Tehran on Friday.

Haaretz reports that shortly after Rubio's statement, Tehran announced that an oil tanker hit naval mines while sailing through a restricted area.
