Summary
Mojtaba Khamenei said Saturday any renewed U.S. or Israeli attack would trigger an immediate Iranian response with “no geographical limitations,” sharpening threats after weeks of brinkmanship.
Abbas Araghchi said Iran has no plans for direct talks with Washington for now, even as Qatari and Pakistani mediators met Iranian officials in Doha and carried U.S. peace-deal revisions.
AP analysis found more than 115 Iranian or Iran-backed drone and missile strikes had damaged 26 U.S. bases and sites through August, with attacks first targeting warning systems and hangars before hitting broader facilities.
Brad Cooper insisted Friday that Iran’s navy has been destroyed and southern Strait of Hormuz lanes are safe, but Iran says multiple commercial vessels struck mines there this week.
Regional officials from Saudi Arabia and Egypt publicly urged de-escalation, warning a second round of war would be more destructive as Trump says the conflict will end soon.
