US President Donald Trump has warned of further military action against Iran following recent strikes in Bandar Abbas and Sirik, while Tehran vowed to respond to aggressors.

United States President Donald Trump has threatened additional military action against Iran following a recent exchange of fire between U.S. forces and Iranian military targets in Bandar Abbas and Sirik. Describing the escalation as the first direct military confrontation between the two nations in a month, Trump asserted that Iranian leaders are eager to reach a diplomatic settlement with Washington.

In response to the strikes, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Tehran is not actively seeking a broader conflict but cautioned that his nation will "decisively respond to aggressors." Iranian naval authorities also disputed claims regarding the scale of damage inflicted on their installations, maintaining that military assets along the southern coast remain fully functional.
