The new event, involving direct US strikes on Iranian soil, can be interpreted as the US acting in retaliation for prior Iranian actions or threats that prompted these warnings, or conversely, the US strikes are the 'aggression' referenced, but given the timeline and nature of 'fresh attacks' following warnings, it fits the pattern of retaliatory escalation in a tit-for-tat conflict dynamic."
