In the long and unresolved contest between Washington and Tehran, the United States military struck again on Wednesday — targeting the infrastructure of Iranian military power in what officials called an act of self-defense. The strikes, aimed at ammunition depots, command centers, and warehouses, were not symbolic gestures but deliberate efforts to erode Iran's capacity to wage and sustain conflict. Each round of action and declared justification deepens the cycle, and the world watches to see whether this moment becomes a turning point or merely another rung on a ladder with no visible top.
