Iran warned this ​weekend against any “adventurous action” by the U.S. and said it would retaliate decisively if American forces follow through on ‌President Donald Trump's threats of fresh attacks on Iranian targets.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi’s comments in separate phone calls on Saturday with senior Turkish, Pakistani and Saudi officials came just hours after Kuwait's army said it destroyed hostile drones launched by Iran against several vital facilities.

Speaking to Pakistan's Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir ​and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Araqchi said Iran would respond decisively to any "aggression" and discussed the consequences of “destabilizing actions" by ​the U.S., as well as prospects for heightened regional insecurity, according to Araqchi's Telegram account.

He keeps running up against the wall of consequences, only to double down on making things worse. We can only hope the midterms change Congrss enough for the Democrats to halt the war.

He’ll probably spend the rest of his term terrorizing the United States populace, but at least we’ll get to have oil prices stabilize.

His lawyers will keep digging up various vague laws etc so he can keep tariffs and wars going and the courts can't keep up.
