Amid tensions with Iran, America has imposed new sanctions on Iran, due to which the Foreign Minister of the Middle Eastern country has issued a major threat to Washington. This threat from Iran may increase the tension of US President Donald Trump. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that if America attacks Iran, Iran will target American military bases located in the Middle East. He also said that this should not be seen as action against the countries where these American military bases are located.

Araghchi’s statement came on Saturday (February 7, 2026), a day after Tehran and Washington agreed to continue indirect nuclear talks following positive talks on Friday (February 6, 2026) mediated by Oman.

US The date of the next conversation with Araghchi has not been decided.

Abbas Araghchi said in an interview with Al Jazeera TV on Saturday (February 7, 2026) that the date for the next talks with the US has not been decided yet, but US President Donald Trump indicated that these talks could take place early next week. He said that both we and Washington believe that talks should happen soon.
