Iran's top diplomat has warned of a "decisive response" to any US-Israeli "aggression," as the Trump administration's so-called "TACO" policy — a strategy of targeted attacks and counterattacks — has been repeated for months, according to Al Jazeera.

The warning comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with Iran accusing the United States and Israel of escalating hostilities. The "TACO" policy, which stands for "Target, Attack, Counterattack," has been a recurring theme in US-Israeli military actions against Iranian-backed groups in the Middle East.

Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson emphasized that the country is prepared to take necessary measures to protect its interests and regional stability. The remarks follow recent Israeli strikes on Iranian assets in Syria and Iran's retaliatory missile launches.

The situation remains volatile, with both sides accusing each other of provocation. The international community is closely monitoring the developments, though no major powers have yet called for de-escalation. (aljazeera.com)
