Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warns against any further US military “adventurism” after condemning US attacks on Iran in recent days as a violation of the Islamabad memorandum of understanding in a phone call with Pakistan’s army chief, Iran’s foreign ministry says.

Iran and the US have exchanged fire for days, in the largest flare-up of violence since the countries agreed to an MoU last month.

Araghchi held separate phone calls with his Omani and Turkish counterparts and discussed the latest developments in the region, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz, the Iranian foreign ministry says.

The parties stressed the need to use diplomatic channels to prevent escalation, a ministry statement says.
