What happened
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned on Sunday that any new U.S. attacks on Iran would draw a devastating response. In a post on X, he said a two-day proposal remains available if requirements are met, including an end to war on all fronts, but added that choosing war would bring a response from what he described as alert and battle-hardened forces.
The statement follows limited U.S. strikes conducted on Friday and the Pentagon’s announcement of Task Force Iron Gate, an operation intended to interdict materiel entering Iran through land routes and the Caspian Sea.
Also on Sunday, Yemen’s Houthis claimed responsibility for attacks targeting Riyadh’s financial district. Saudi officials said at least some of the strikes were intercepted, while eyewitnesses reported damage to a skyscraper belonging to Saudi Aramco, the state-owned oil company.
Separately, AAA reported that the average U.S. price for regular gasoline was $4.02 per gallon, down 15 cents from the previous Sunday, while diesel averaged $6.19 per gallon.
