Reuters, citing five informed sources, reported that after threats by Donald Trump on the 5th and 6th of Mordad, the Islamic Republic warned the countries in the region that if the United States attacks again, it will target energy infrastructure and U.S. positions in the region.

According to these sources, Abbas Araqchi, the foreign minister of the Islamic Republic, in a call with officials in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and the commander of Pakistan’s army, asked Washington’s allies to persuade Trump to stop the attacks and return to diplomacy.

Reuters wrote that Mohammad bin Salman, the Saudi crown prince, also asked Trump to delay a military action and allow negotiations time.

According to the sources, the Persian Gulf states concerned about damage to energy facilities and the expansion of the war supported the continuation of talks.

A senior Iranian official also warned that a new round of U.S. attacks could “turn the region into a bullet of fire.”

Reuters added that these diplomatic moves ultimately played a role in Trump’s decision to refrain from a broader attack and focus on the path of negotiations.
