US warns of further strikes on Iran as Tehran vows decisive response

US President Donald Trump warned of further strikes against Iran following attacks near Bandar Abbas, as Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian pledged a decisive response.
US President Donald Trump has warned of additional military strikes against Iran following American bombardments targeting coastal areas near Bandar Abbas and Sirik. Trump asserted that Tehran is "begging" for a diplomatic agreement with Washington, warning that any Iranian retaliation would trigger further US military actions.
In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that while Tehran does not seek a broader conflict, it will "respond decisively to aggressors." Iranian officials also maintained that the country's naval forces remain intact despite the American bombardments, which mark the first direct military exchange between the two nations in a month.
