Trump warns Iran of further strikes as Pezeshkian vows response

Following recent American military strikes on Bandar Abbas and Sirik, United States President Donald Trump warned of potential further actions if Tehran retaliates. Trump asserted that Iranian leadership is "begging" for a diplomatic agreement with Washington.

In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian clarified that Tehran does not seek a broader military conflict, though he vowed to "decisively respond to aggressors." Meanwhile, Iranian naval officials dismissed reports of severe operational damage, asserting that their maritime forces remain fully functional along the southern coast.

The exchange marks the first direct military confrontation between the two nations in a month, heightening regional security concerns as both sides balance military threats against potential diplomatic pathways.
