U.S. threatens further strikes on Iran following fresh military exchange
U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran of further military action following direct clashes, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian pledged to decisively counter any aggression.
U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Iran of additional military action following the first direct engagement between American and Iranian forces in a month. Trump stated that Tehran is urgently seeking a diplomatic agreement with Washington.
In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared that while his country is not seeking a broader conflict, it will react decisively against any violations of its sovereignty. The exchange of warnings follows reports of explosions near the strategic Iranian coastal cities of Bandar Abbas and Sirik. Despite the attacks, Iranian state media asserts that the nation's naval fleet remains fully operational.
