US President Donald Trump warned of further military strikes against Iran following recent direct exchanges near Bandar Abbas and Sirik, as Tehran pledged a decisive response.

US President Donald Trump has warned of potential additional military strikes against Iran following a recent exchange of fire near the southern coastal locations of Bandar Abbas and Sirik. Describing the situation, Trump stated that Tehran is "begging" for a diplomatic agreement with Washington to de-escalate tensions.

In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared that while his country does not desire a broader conflict, Tehran will "respond decisively" to any foreign strikes. Iranian authorities further maintained that their naval capabilities were not compromised during the engagement and remain fully operational.

The strike marks the first direct military confrontation between Washington and Tehran in a month, reflecting persistent volatility in the region as both sides balance military warnings with rhetoric regarding potential negotiations.
