Five days into sustained American airstrikes across Iran — from Bandar Abbas to Qeshm Island — Tehran has closed the diplomatic door, declaring its obligations under the memorandum void and its attention turned entirely to self-defense. What began as a confrontation over the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's oil flows, has become something older and more dangerous: two powers locked in escalation with no agreed language for retreat. The Trump administration now weighs options — ground troops, nuclear site strikes — that would mark a threshold from which return grows harder
