Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, issued a significant threat against the United States on Wednesday following Tehran's harsh response to protesters. The warning came as an American aircraft carrier neared the Middle East, contributing to escalating tensions in the region.
Amid the unrest, an Iranian Kurdish separatist group in Iraq claimed that Iran targeted its base in a drone and missile attack, leaving one fighter dead. Iran, however, has not acknowledged this operation, marking a potential new phase in regional conflicts.
The death toll from Iran's protests has surpassed 4,500, sparking international outrage. The US and other nations remain concerned about Iran's handling of the protests and the threat of further violence as the situation continues to unfold, with a staggering 26,300 arrests reported.
