After threatening to "hit Iran very hard" and even seize Kharg Island, trump has taken another U-turn (I have lost count how many times trump has taken U-turns since he launched this war). Try to understand the big picture here:
Iran threatens to attack Israel if it hit Beirut. Israel hits Beirut and Iran, for the first time, hits Israel without being hit by Israel. Israel strikes back, and Iran strikes Israel again. trump reins netanyahu in--action paused.
Iran downs a highly sophisticated American Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. strikes Iran. Iran hits American bases in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan. The U.S. hits Iran again. (They play us for suckers, says trump). Iran hits back with greater force targeting U.S. bases in the same three countries and announces that the Strait of Hormuz is closed to all traffic.
An angry trump, vows to "hit Iran very hard" again, and even threatens to take Kharg Island and the country's energy infrastructure. Within six hours, he takes a U-turn, saying he has paused the strikes and claims that Iran has approved talks--action paused again.
In the escalation dynamics, trump is taking one step forward and two steps backward.
