‘Hit them hard’: Does Trump have another ‘new’ Iran strategy, can it work?

US President Donald Trump signaled a new phase in the war against Iran, promising a strong response after US strikes on military targets on Larak Island. In retaliation, Iran launched missiles at airbases in Jordan, reportedly killing three people according to Iranian media. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that his forces would cease fire if the US did the same and fulfilled commitments under an interim deal that has since expired.
