US threatens further Iran strikes following naval operations near Bandar Abbas
US President Donald Trump has warned of further military strikes on Iran following US attacks near Bandar Abbas, while Tehran promised a decisive response to any aggressors.
Tensions between Washington and Tehran escalated as US President Donald Trump threatened additional military strikes against Iran if the country retaliates against recent American air bombardments near Bandar Abbas and Sirik. Trump asserted that Iranian leaders are "begging" for a diplomatic agreement with the United States following the operations, which mark the first direct military confrontation between the two nations in a month.
In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized that while Tehran is not seeking expanded conflict, it will "decisively respond to aggressors." Iranian military officials also rejected claims of severe damage, insisting that their naval fleet remains fully operational despite the strikes.
