Trump's Bluster or a New War in the Gulf? The past fortnight has seen a familiar pattern: US strikes on Iranian targets, followed by an escalation warning from President Trump.
The latest round of airstrikes concluded at 9 p. m. ET on Friday, marking the 13th consecutive night of military action against Iran.
Behind this escalating rhetoric and targeted attacks lies a complex web of geopolitics and proxy wars that threatens to drag the world into another conflict in the Gulf region.
