US President Donald Trump has warned of potential additional military strikes against Iran following American bombardments targeting coastal areas near Bandar Abbas and Sirik. Speaking after the first direct military exchange between the two nations in a month, Trump claimed Tehran is "begging" for a diplomatic agreement while cautioning that any Iranian retaliation would trigger further strikes.
In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Tehran does not seek conflict but warned that his country will "respond decisively to aggressors." Iranian officials also asserted that the nation's naval forces remain operational despite the strikes.
