US launches military strikes against Iranian positions in Bandar Abbas and Sirik

The United States executed military strikes targeting Iranian locations in Bandar Abbas and Sirik, marking the first direct exchange of fire between the two nations in a month.

Following the operations, U.S. President Donald Trump warned that Washington is prepared to launch further strikes if Tehran retaliates, claiming that Iranian leadership is "begging" for a diplomatic deal with the United States. In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that his country does not seek a wider conflict, though he vowed that Tehran will "decisively respond to aggressors." Meanwhile, Iranian naval commanders reported that their forces remain operational following the American attacks along the strategic southern coastline.
