U.S. warns Iran of further strikes following renewed military exchange

U.S. forces conducted strikes against Iranian military positions in Bandar Abbas and Sirik, marking the first direct exchange of fire between Washington and Tehran in a month.

Following the engagement, U.S. President Donald Trump warned of additional military action should Iran retaliate, claiming that Iranian leadership is "begging" for a diplomatic agreement with Washington. In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Tehran is not seeking a broader conflict, while cautioning that his country will "decisively respond to aggressors."

Meanwhile, Iranian naval commanders stated that their forces along the southern coastline sustained no major damage and remain fully operational despite the bombardment. Both nations continue to monitor developments along the strategic waterway.
