United States and Iran exchange warnings after strikes near Bandar Abbas

Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated following American military strikes targeting locations near Bandar Abbas and Sirik. US President Donald Trump threatened additional actions if Tehran chooses to retaliate, asserting that Iranian officials are eager to negotiate a diplomatic deal with Washington.

In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that while Tehran does not seek broader conflict, it will "decisively respond to aggressors." Meanwhile, Iranian naval officials dismissed claims of heavy operational damage, maintaining that their fleet remains fully functional despite the military engagement. The exchange marks the first direct military confrontation between the two nations in a month.
