2 days ago, trump reportedly issued a strong warning to Iran, saying that if they refused to reopen the strait of hormuz within 48 hours, their power plants and energy infrastructure could be targeted.

in response, Iran fired back with an equally serious warning to the usa, any attack on their infrastructure would lead to widespread retaliation, including strikes on power facilities and it infrastructure in regions where the USA has military bases across the Middle East.
they also warned that the Strait of Hormuz could be completely shut down.
After this became public know , trump seems to outweigh the loss and consequences especially the risks such actions could pose to the USA and its economic interests.
now, he’s come forward this morning with a different narrative, claiming that the usa and Iran are engaged in good and productive discussions
this makes it seem like Iran is open to negotiations, even though Iran has not made such deals
from this perspective, it looks like a clash of egos, with the USA not wanting to appear as the side pushing for resolution in front of the global stage.
at the same time, Iran appears fully prepared for any escalation.
