Trump strikes Iran again, reignites war; hopes for a deal with Mojtaba collapse?

President Trump ordered strikes on Iranian targets once again, escalating tensions across the Middle East and raising fears of a wider conflict. CENTCOM reports the strikes targeted key militia infrastructure linked to Tehran after a series of provocations; casualties and damage assessments remain under review. Analysts say the move undermines recent diplomatic openings and likely ends hopes for a negotiated deal with Mojtaba and other mediators. Regional capitals brace for retaliatory actions as U.S. forces increase readiness across Gulf shipping lanes and air defenses. In this video we break down what targets were hit, CENTCOM’s official statements, possible motives behind the timing, and how rivals — including Iran, proxies in Iraq and Yemen, and global powers — might respond. We also examine economic and energy implications, shipping risk, and the short-term outlook for escalation or de-escalation.
