The fragility is collapsing as – they have entered into a dangerous dance of direct retaliation against each other.
Trump’s new threats
After the new wave of heavy US airstrikes, Tehran immediately responded by launching missiles and drones against US military installations in the Persian Gulf.
At the same time, US President Donald Trump warned in a dramatic tone that if Washington is forced to militarily finish the job they have successfully started, then the Islamic Republic of Iran will cease to exist.

Rapid escalation
The situation escalated rapidly within hours, with Washington and Tehran exchanging heavy blows.
On the orders of Donald Trump, US Navy and Air Force fighter jets struck ten Iranian military targets at various locations in and near the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
These targets included surveillance infrastructure, communications systems, air defense installations, drone depots as well as minesweepers.
The guards of the revolution
Tehran’s response was immediate, with the Revolutionary Guards announcing that their naval and aerospace forces had carried out a joint operation with missiles and drones.
This operation hit US military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait in retaliation for recent US raids.
This development put the region on high alert, with the Kuwaiti army and Bahraini authorities activating air defense sirens and calling on citizens to evacuate immediately to safe places, while anti-aircraft systems proceeded to intercept enemy attacks.

The position of Washington
According to Washington, the strikes were made in direct response to Iranian aggression against commercial shipping. According to the US Central Command, Iran had an opportunity to respect the ceasefire agreement but chose not to when its forces attacked a merchant ship carrying more than two million barrels of crude oil in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday morning.
Trump’s threatening message
For his part, Donald Trump sent an extremely harsh message through the platform Truth Social, warning that it may reach a point where it will no longer be possible for the US to be reasonable. He even added that if they are forced to militarily complete the work they have successfully started, then the Islamic Republic of Iran will cease to exist.
The guards are threatening to stop diplomacy
For their part, the Revolutionary Guards argue that the US attacks violate the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding signed two weeks ago and warn that this violation will lead to a complete halt to any diplomatic process.
