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

Iran’s supreme leader has warned the United States and Israel against new attacks following threats from Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump, according to Punch.

Speaking at a G20 foreign ministers meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that President Trump has not made a decision regarding whether to strike Iran. The Jerusalem Post reported that Rubio noted the president prefers to resolve the issue diplomatically, suggesting that if military action were preferred, the administration would have acted months or weeks ago.

However, Rubio emphasized that the US remains the most capable military power and possesses everything necessary to be successful if military action becomes required.

The National UAE and The National Business reported that Rubio has set no deadline for diplomatic efforts and expressed uncertainty regarding a specific timeframe for Qatar-led talks. Rubio added that any potential agreement must not endanger US national security or fail to address core Washington concerns. Additionally, Rubio warned that the Iranian regime is threatening the energy infrastructure of its Gulf neighbors and the possibility of blowing up ships to pressure the US.
