US and Iran exchange warnings following American strikes near Bandar Abbas

US President Donald Trump has threatened further military strikes against Iran if Tehran retaliates following a series of American air attacks on military positions near Bandar Abbas and Sirik. Trump claimed Iranian leadership is "begging" for a diplomatic agreement with Washington, describing the recent operations as a response to regional escalation.

In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that while Tehran does not seek broader conflict, it will "decisively respond to aggressors." Iranian military officials also rejected reports of major destruction, maintaining that the country's naval fleet remains operational despite the bombardment. The exchange marks the first direct military confrontation between the two nations in a month, heightening regional tensions.
