US President Donald Trump warned of potential new strikes on Iran following military actions in Bandar Abbas and Sirik, while Tehran vowed to decisively respond to any aggression.

Tensions between Washington and Tehran have escalated following American military strikes targeting locations in Bandar Abbas and Sirik. United States President Donald Trump warned that further attacks remain possible if Iran retaliates, while asserting that Iranian leadership is seeking a diplomatic agreement.

In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian affirmed that Tehran does not seek broader conflict, but warned that his country will "decisively respond to aggressors." Iranian naval commanders also refuted claims of significant operational damage, maintaining that forces along the southern coast remain active and functional. The strikes represent the first direct military exchange between the two nations in a month, leaving regional security precarious as both sides weigh military deterrence against potential diplomatic engagements.
