Iran is pushing back against US demands that it directly negotiate over its nuclear programme or be bombed,
It also warned neighbours who host US bases that they could be in the firing line if involved.
Although the Islamic Republic has rejected the demand of President Donald Trump of the United States for direct talks, it wants to continue indirect negotiations through Oman, a longtime channel for messages between the rival states.
It has also notified Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Turkey and Bahrain that any support for a US attack on Iran, including the use of their air space or territory by the US military during an attack, would be considered an act of hostility.
Arogidigba Global Journal reports that warnings by Trump of military action against Iran have jangled already tense nerves across the region after open warfare in Gaza and Lebanon, military strikes on Yemen, a change of leadership in Syria and Israeli-Iranian exchanges of fire.
At the time of filing this report, spokespeople for the governments of Iraq, Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar and Bahrain have not commented on the development.
Meanwhile, Turkey’s Foreign Ministry said it was not aware of a warning but that such messages could be conveyed by other channels.
Iranian state media reported on Wednesday that Kuwait had reassured Iran that it would not accept any aggressive action being directed at other countries from its soil.
In the same vein, Iran’s ally Russia said on Thursday that US threats of military strikes against the Islamic Republic were unacceptable and on Friday called for restraint.
