Khamenei warns of unlimited response as Rubio says no strike decision made
Iran's supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned the US and Israel against new attacks on Saturday. Rubio said President Trump has not decided whether to resume strikes. Khamenei ordered commanders to answer any threat immediately and without geographical limits. Iranian negotiators were in Doha with Qatari mediators, and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran has no plan to meet US officials.
Why it matters
A return to US-Iran fighting would hit Gulf shipping and oil prices worldwide.
Background
The US and Israel struck Iran on February 28, starting a war that included a ceasefire. Qatar is trying to mediate a deal to avoid renewed fighting.
