U.S. President Donald Trump warns Iran of further strikes following recent clashes

U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran of additional military action after recent fire exchanges, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed to defend his nation's sovereignty.
U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Iran of additional military action following the first direct exchange of fire between the two nations in a month. The military activity included reported explosions near the Iranian coastal cities of Bandar Abbas and Sirik.
Trump claimed that Iranian representatives are actively seeking a diplomatic deal with Washington. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian maintained that Tehran does not want war, though he warned that his country would "decisively respond to aggressors" who threaten its sovereignty. Meanwhile, Iranian media denied reports of major naval losses, claiming its fleet remains operational. Despite public warnings and military actions, backchannel diplomatic contacts between Washington and Tehran reportedly remain active.
