  "summary": "Iran's supreme leader met with top military commanders and ordered that any US or Israeli attack be met with a \"geographically unrestricted response,\" according to written statements reported by Malay Mail and RTE News. Ajel English reported that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei instructed commanders to respond to threats swiftly and decisively without geographic restrictions.\n\nAccording to Free Malaysia Mail, Iranian army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia stated that any new US attack would spread the war wider. Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi also warned on Saturday that Iran's armed forces would act against those who harm the Iranian people.\n\nEgypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty expressed serious concern that renewed fighting between the United States and Iran could cause greater destruction, with Daily Times reporting his warning that a second round of conflict could be more dangerous than previous fighting. Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts to avert fighting include Qatari mediators in Tehran and a letter reportedly sent by US vice-president JD Vance to Iran's security chief, Mohsen Rezaei, as reported by Free Malaysia Today.",
