U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran of potential new military strikes following recent exchanges of fire, while Iranian leaders vowed a decisive response.

U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Tehran of potential new military strikes following the first direct exchange of fire between U.S. and Iranian forces in a month. Trump claimed that Iranian officials are urgently seeking a diplomatic agreement with Washington.

In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized that Tehran is not pursuing a broader conflict, while warning that his nation would "decisively respond to aggressors" who target its sovereignty. The warnings follow reports of explosions near the southern Iranian coastal cities of Bandar Abbas and Sirik.

Despite the escalation, Iranian state media maintains that its naval fleet remains fully operational, denying reports of significant damage. Indirect diplomatic channels between the two nations reportedly remain open.
