US airstrikes hit Iran for a second day as Trump demands they "pay the price"

Original version ·

Just when everyone thought maybe things would calm down in the Middle East, the US military decided to light up the skies over Iran for a second straight day.

The US military is currently pounding "multiple targets" inside Iran for the second day in a row. It turns out that when diplomatic negotiations stall, the backup plan is to immediately start dropping heavy ordnance.

These escalating strikes are now actively threatening to derail any remaining hope of ending the war. It is a bold strategy: trying to bomb someone into agreeing to a ceasefire.

Meanwhile, Trump issued a direct warning to Tehran, stating they would "pay the price" for dragging their feet. It is the classic geopolitical equivalent of "sign the contract or we wreck your house."

Bombing the very country one is trying to sign a peace treaty with is certainly a unique approach to international conflict resolution.
