Iran responded to the American attack on its nuclear facilities by launching missiles against a U.S. military base in Qatar.
Despite damage to its facilities, Iran is trying to show its resistance to Trump's war decisions.
Although it was a limited attack, the fact that Iran warned in advance signals a strategy to show strength without escalating the conflict.
Trump wanted Iran to sit down to negotiate after his attack, a move that would allow him to present himself as a strong leader.
The suggestion of a regime change in Iran is creating divisions among Republicans.
The conflict spiral continues, involving several countries in the region.
Conclusion: Trump and Iran continue to play a dangerous game of braggadocio, with both sides seeking to show strength without unleashing full-scale military escalation.
