Iran just learned what happens when it attacks American forces. The United States unleashed another major wave of strikes against IRGC air defenses, radar systems, maritime assets, mine-laying capabilities and communications sites. CENTCOM confirms the operation followed Iranian attempts to threaten commercial shipping and U.S. personnel.
And Iran fired back.
Missiles and drones were aimed at American forces and U.S. allies across Jordan, Bahrain, Iraq and elsewhere in the Gulf. Jordan says it intercepted 10 of 13 missiles fired toward its territory, while Iran continues trying to impose its own rules on the Strait of Hormuz.
But there is a much bigger question buried underneath the explosions:
Why does Tehran appear willing to keep trading blows with Washington while remaining far more cautious about provoking Israel?
And if President Trump is openly calling for the Iranian people to rise against the regime, what exactly is the American strategy for helping them do it?
The original Hot Zone discussion also examines Trump's messaging, the reported wedding strike inside Iran, Tehran's increasingly extraordinary demands over passage through Hormuz, and whether America's tit-for-tat approach is actually creating deterrence.
What this means:
The United States may have overwhelming military superiority, but destroying targets is not the same thing as establishing deterrence. Iran's willingness to continue launching missiles and drones raises a dangerous question about whether Tehran believes it can absorb American retaliation and keep fighting. Meanwhile, every exchange threatens shipping, oil prices, U.S. forces and America's Gulf allies.
What we’re covering in this LIVE:
The latest U.S. strikes on IRGC targets inside Iran
Why Iran continues attacking American forces
The striking difference between Tehran's approach to America and Israel
Trump's call for Iranians to rise against the regime
The mixed signals surrounding negotiations and regime change
