Iran threatens Gulf energy retaliation if U.S. strikes, pushes for talks
Iran has warned Gulf states that any new U.S. military strike on its territory would trigger retaliatory attacks on energy infrastructure and American assets, while urging diplomacy.
Iran has cautioned Gulf nations that any further U.S. strikes on its soil will draw retaliatory action against oil and gas infrastructure as well as U.S. assets across the region.
Foreign Minister Araghchi has reportedly reached out to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Türkiye and other regional partners, asking them to press President Trump to step back from military action and resume diplomatic engagement.
The Iranian stance, as described by sources, shows readiness to strike back if provoked, yet signals a strong preference for a negotiated resolution.
