Iranian Foreign Minister Warns Countries Against Joining US Aggression

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi issued a stark warning to nations considering support for US actions against Iran. He stated that Iran reserves the right to take all necessary measures in self-defense and would consider any country aiding the United States as a legitimate target for its armed forces. This follows reports that Donald Trump had considered a 'massive attack' on Iran, prompting Tehran's response. In parallel, Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels targeted two Saudi oil tankers, increasing the danger of shipping through the Red Sea. France24 noted that this attack contributed to rising global oil prices, with Brent crude surpassing $100 a barrel for the first time since May. The incident highlights the growing regional instability and its economic ramifications. Tehran's warning aligns with its broader stance of resisting foreign intervention, while the US's potential military action remains a point of contention. The situation underscores the deepening conflict and its implications for global energy markets and international relations.
