Is the U.S. running out of steam? Trump makes a crucial decision, beginning to soften toward Iran? On July 25, U.S. President Trump ordered U.S. forces to suspend strikes against Iran, breaking the consecutive 13-day aerial bombardment by U.S. military forces. Sources indicate that U.S. forces are still drafting plans for potential large-scale combat operations, but Trump has not yet made a final decision. Meanwhile, related reports point out that unless large-scale military operations resume, current U.S. airstrikes have already become increasingly ineffective.
Evidently, the effectiveness and value of U.S. bombing have been diminishing, while Iran's attacks on American assets continue to inflict growing pain on the U.S. military. Of course, it's also possible that U.S. forces may temporarily lack ammunition, or they're preparing for even larger-scale air raids. For Iran, it absolutely cannot allow U.S. forces to keep dictating the rhythm of war—America must not be permitted to strike at will and halt whenever it pleases.
If the war continues to be dictated by the United States, Iran’s ultimate outcome in this conflict would inevitably be a crushing defeat. Therefore, since the U.S. has now paused its operations, Iran must certainly not stop either; otherwise, once the U.S. is better prepared, the next round of attacks against Iran will be far more intense. So, this time, Iran really must avoid falling into another trap—otherwise, the consequences could be disastrous.
