US President Donald Trump threatened further military action against Iran following strikes near Bandar Abbas, while Tehran warned of a decisive response to any aggression.

US President Donald Trump has warned of further military actions against Iran following recent American bombardments targeting coastal sites near Bandar Abbas and Sirik. Trump stated that Washington would execute additional strikes should Tehran retaliate, asserting that Iranian officials are seeking a diplomatic resolution.

In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared that while his country does not desire an expanded war, it will "respond decisively to aggressors." Meanwhile, officials in Tehran insisted that Iranian naval assets remain intact despite the American bombardment. The direct exchange, the first between the two nations in a month, has heightened international concern regarding broader regional escalation.
