Two minor escalation in these attacks, since attacks have resumed Iran has mainly attacked after attacks launched on Iran, as planes were ariving back at bases, and these attacks are as attacks would normally be staging to fly out.
Also they've pretty much refrained from attacking saudi arabia post mou, I think they've only attacked there once or twice recently

do people recognize the irony of “Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism” as the opposite of Operation Chokepoint, or their consequence?
there's fairly interesting conjecture to entertain, that China breaking the compute bottleneck as well as opensourcing weights is a double attack which yields an attractive solution to its own demographic and debt gap. should America's concentrated capex falter along with SaaSpocalypse, that spells demise for "cozy corners in the blob" leading to much riskier entrepreneurship on the edge.
one can entertain the possible gradient of soft power shifting to more disillusioned migration, but not to Europe. likewise, where does the EU economy shift, and what becomes the major dual residency in the world? with regards to network state capture & shifting nomadic preference, especially with "all-or-nothing shovel stand" strivers meeting subsidized ghost towns, can certain populations shift by political exile to service local debt?
food for thought.

I wouldn't be suprised if Irans retaliation tonight includes previously un used weapon systems, they were pretty explicit in their earlier statements today

Interesting media is trying to frame it as Iran broke the MOU
Iran attacked shipping vessels because Trump violated parts of the MOU related to sanction relief
