Trump’s intense attacks have failed to sway Iran. He’s trying again anyway
The News
President Donald Trump has intensified US airstrikes on Iran and threatened further escalation despite previous military actions failing to secure concessions. An interim ceasefire deal collapsed a month ago, leaving Trump in a difficult position as he attempts to challenge Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. The two sides have so far avoided returning to full-scale conflict.
