According to消息人士 reported by CNN, U.S. President Donald Trump hopes that the strike he ordered on three Iranian nuclear facilities will push Tehran to resume negotiations. While pressuring Iranian leaders to "agree to end this war," he does not currently plan to take further action within Iran's territory. Despite Trump's remaining hope for diplomatic progress, U.S. troops stationed in the region are prepared for Iran's retaliatory actions.
Trump's strategy of attempting to force Iran to resume negotiations by using military strikes as a bargaining chip is essentially a bold gamble in "bomb diplomacy," and the balance of this game is tilting toward an uncontrollable direction.
Trump attempts to compel Tehran to submit by showcasing the military achievements of deploying B-2 strategic bombers and destroying nuclear facilities with "6 penetrating bombs + 30 Tomahawk missiles." However, Iranian government spokesman Mohajerani has sharply pointed out that "Trump doesn't understand Iran," emphasizing that the Iranian nation will not abandon its dignity under threats, echoing the street protest slogan that "death is sweeter than honey," indicating that military strikes may instead strengthen Iran's resistance will.
Although the U.S. military used GBU-57 penetrating bombs to attack the Fordo facility, its structure buried 90 meters underground makes it difficult to be completely destroyed, and the phrase "facility disappears" is more like political propaganda. Trump's statement that "he does not plan to take further action" appears particularly pale against the backdrop of Iran revealing the coordinates of 10 U.S. Middle Eastern bases - Iran not only deploys missile forces in Iraq and Syria but also its "Fahad" hypersonic missiles can cover key bases such as Al-Udeid and Al-Dhafra. Although the U.S. military has entered a high state of alert, dispersed base clusters still face the risk of saturation attacks.
