Donald Trump threatens further strikes on Iran following fresh military clashes
US President Donald Trump warns of further strikes on Iran after clashes near Bandar Abbas, as Tehran vows a decisive response.
United States President Donald Trump has warned of further military strikes against Iran following a fresh exchange of fire between American and Iranian forces near Bandar Abbas and Sirik. Trump asserted that Iranian leadership is "begging" for a deal with Washington following the engagement.
In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that while Tehran does not seek a broader conflict, it will "respond decisively" to any further aggression. Iranian military officials also dismissed claims of heavy damage, maintaining that their naval forces remain fully operational despite the recent bombardments. Regional tensions remain heightened as both sides continue to exchange warnings while monitoring military movements in the Persian Gulf.
