Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warns against any fresh act of adventurism on the part of the United States targeting the Islamic Republic, stressing that the country is completely prepared to effectively confront any such miscalculation.

The top diplomat made the remarks during separate telephone conversations with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan and Chief of the Army Staff of Pakistan, Field Marshal Asim Munir on Saturday.

The conversations addressed the latest regional developments, including the repercussions of the aggressive and destabilizing actions taken by the United States.

During the calls, Araghchi stressed the Islamic Republic’s full readiness to safeguard its national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and security, and to respond decisively to any such act of aggression.

The United States has perpetrated numerous violations against Iranian territory since April 7, when US President Donald Trump announced a unilateral ceasefire in the latest bout of unprovoked American-Israeli aggression targeting the Islamic Republic.

The violations continued even after Washington and Tehran signed a Pakistan-mediated memorandum of understanding in June, whose first clause clearly mandated cessation of aggression on all fronts.

The US has also been trying to help vessels evade the maritime route designated by the Islamic Republic for safe and legal passage through the Strait of Hormuz by seeking to escort trespassing vessels through an illegal passageway.

Iran's Armed Forces have staged uncompromising retaliation in the face of each instance of violation, including those taking place in support of illegal vessel movement in the Strait of Hormuz.

On Friday, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohammad Bagher Zolqadr warned that continued warmongering on the part of the United States towards the Islamic Republic would tighten the closure that the country has imposed on the Strait of Hormuz in response to Washington’s violations.
