US targets Iranian coastal sites as Trump threatens further strikes

Explosions were reported near the Iranian coastal locations of Bandar Abbas and Sirik following targeted military strikes by the United States, marking the first direct military exchange between the two nations in a month. United States President Donald Trump threatened additional actions should Tehran retaliate, asserting that Iranian leadership is eager for negotiations.

In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Tehran does not seek a broader conflict but warned that it will "decisively respond to aggressors." Iranian military officials also rejected claims that their naval capacity was compromised during the operations, maintaining that their forces remain fully operational. Both countries remain on high alert as regional tensions persist.
