The diplomatic exchange comes amid renewed tensions following reports of Iranian missile and drone strikes targeting US military installations in Kuwait and Bahrain, shortly after US President Donald Trump warned Tehran against violating the interim ceasefire arrangement.
Meanwhile, Israel said it carried out strikes against Hezbollah positions in Lebanon on Saturday, despite a newly agreed ceasefire intended to reduce cross-border hostilities.
Earlier, the US military also announced fresh strikes on Iran after an oil tanker was reportedly attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic global shipping route that has faced repeated disruptions during the conflict.
