  "summary": "Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has warned the United States and Israel against launching new attacks, stating that Iran will determine the timing and conditions for ending any future war. According to The Indian Express, Khamenei issued these remarks via an official Telegram statement on Saturday, ordering armed forces to respond immediately to any threat without \"geographic limits.\" He further instructed that military target lists be updated to bring both physical and non-physical American and Israeli assets within reach of Iranian forces.\n\nThe warnings come amid fears of renewed fighting in the Middle East following threats of fresh military action from US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. IOL reports that Khamenei issued the warning during a meeting with three top military commanders, ordering an immediate response to enemy threats. While IOL notes that Trump has threatened military action following the US midterm elections, The Indian Express reports that concerns regarding a return to full-scale fighting follow a US-Israeli military campaign against Iran in February.\n\nRegarding diplomacy, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated there are currently no plans to hold meetings with American officials, dismissing speculation of talks as media assumption. Araghchi told Al Jazeera, as reported by IOL, that Iran has reviewed a letter from US Vice President JD Vance, describing the effort to open a dialogue as a positive step. However, the Jerusalem Post reports that Israeli officials assess Iran is stalling nuclear talks while Washington considers military action.",
