"The new event describes a 'renewed US campaign' and Trump's comments on its duration, which is a direct political framing and continuation of the military escalation initiated by the US airstrikes on Iranian territory described in event 15. The political statement manages the expectations and scope of the military action already underway."

Both events are part of the simultaneous diplomatic and political management of the ongoing military confrontation."
