Tensions rise as the US conducts strikes near Bandar Abbas and Sirik, with President Trump threatening further action and Iran vowing a decisive response.

Tensions between Washington and Tehran have intensified following a new round of direct military strikes near the Iranian coastal cities of Bandar Abbas and Sirik, marking the first direct clash between the two nations in a month. United States President Donald Trump warned of further strikes should Tehran retaliate, asserting that Iranian leadership is eager for diplomatic negotiations with Washington.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Tehran does not seek a broader conflict, but cautioned that any aggression against Iranian territory would meet a "decisive response." Additionally, Iranian military officials refuted reports of naval destruction, maintaining that their fleet remains operational despite the American bombardments. Both sides remain on high alert following the incident.
