Tit-for-tat military strikes indicate breakdown in diplomatic momentum despite ongoing negotiations. US maintains technological superiority (drone operations, precision strikes) while Iran demonstrates regional denial capabilities (air defense, drone/missile systems).

Mirrors 2019-2020 US-Iran tensions following Soleimani assassination, where tit-for-tat strikes preceded near-conflict; differs as ceasefire framework exists but is actively being tested.
