Trump has repeatedly kept the door open for new military action against Iran, following US support for and participation in Israel's 12-day war in June aimed at degrading Tehran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

The announcement of the facility signals Iran's attempt to strengthen its strategic military assets amid regional tensions.

As tensions rise and protests grip Iran, Tehran warns it would strike US targets across the region if Washington launches an attack.

It is still too early to assess whether the current protest will succeed and what Israel should do or not do in the face of provocative declarations suggesting interference in Iran's internal affairs

The nature of Iran’s retaliation and the regional reaction to US strikes on Iran will be very different from that of June 2025.
