TEHRAN, March 11, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Iran remained defiant as fresh explosions thundered out in Tehran on Tuesday, insisting it was not seeking a ceasefire even as US President Donald Trump upped his threats surrounding the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The Pentagon had earlier announced its most intense strikes to date, but Iran has so far refused to bow to the pressure. "We believe the aggressor must be punished and taught a lesson that will deter them from attacking Iran again," he added. Two rounds of explosions shook Tehran on Tuesday evening, AFP journalists reported, with no immediate information available about the intended targets. I don't know how people will manage," she told AFP at a Cairo market.
