Trump warns Iran of further strikes following military exchange
US President Donald Trump warned Iran of additional military strikes following American bombardments targeting Bandar Abbas and Sirik, while Tehran vowed a decisive response.
United States President Donald Trump has warned Iran of additional military strikes if Tehran retaliates against recent American bombardments targeting southern Iranian positions in Bandar Abbas and Sirik. Trump claimed that Iranian leadership is eager for negotiations, stating that Tehran is "begging" for a deal with Washington following the first direct military exchange between the two nations in over a month.
In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian maintained that while Tehran does not seek conflict, it will "respond decisively to aggressors." Meanwhile, Iranian naval officials downplayed the impact of the American action, asserting that their forces remain active and unharmed along strategic maritime corridors.
