US conducts strikes on Iranian sites near Bandar Abbas and Sirik

Direct military friction between the United States and Iran has escalated following American airstrikes targeting locations near Bandar Abbas and Sirik. US President Donald Trump warned Tehran against launching retaliatory actions, stating that Washington would unleash further strikes if provoked, while claiming Iranian officials are seeking a diplomatic resolution.

In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized that Tehran does not seek a wider conflict, but warned that Iran will provide a decisive response against any foreign aggression. Meanwhile, Iranian military officials rejected reports alleging that their maritime forces suffered severe damage, insisting their naval assets remain operational. The recent military exchange marks a notable escalation in Middle Eastern security dynamics.
