US President Donald Trump warns Iran of further military strikes after coastal attacks

US President Donald Trump has issued warnings of further military bombardment against Iran following strikes on coastal installations near Bandar Abbas and Sirik. Marking the first direct military engagement between the two countries in a month, Trump asserted that Tehran is "begging" for a diplomatic agreement while cautioning that any Iranian retaliation would invite a stronger response.

In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized that Tehran is not pursuing open war, though he affirmed the nation will "respond decisively to aggressors." Iranian naval officials added that their forces remain fully functional despite the recent American assault. The situation along the Persian Gulf coast remains tense as both sides trade rhetoric over potential escalation.
