The Peace Break with Iran Ended Because It's America's Turn to Strike

Original version ·

So much for that four-day diplomatic timeout with Iran. We are right back to trading missiles in the sandbox.

Iran decided to break the brief four-day lull by firing five ballistic missiles at a CENTCOM base in Jordan. Total damage? Absolutely zero. Every single missile got swatted out of the sky before touching anything important.

Naturally, that did not stop the retaliation train. Donald Trump stepped up to explain geopolitical deterrence like a playground dispute: "They took a shot, so it's our turn."

Shortly after, American jets and joint forces hammered dozens of IRGC command centers, coastal radar sites, and drone facilities across the region.

Global diplomacy really operates on strict turn-based board game rules now.
