"Event 3 is a direct precursor where the US President signaled the potential end to the Iran conflict. The new event reinforces and expands on this signal by explicitly predicting the cessation of hostilities and linking it to economic outcomes (oil prices), representing a continuation and formalization of the diplomatic stance initiated in Event 3."
"Event 15 describes active military operations ('Operation Epic Fury') against Iran. The new event signals the imminent cessation of these hostilities. Therefore, the new event represents a de-escalation or resolution of the conflict state described in Event 15. While 'ESCALATION_OF' is the only valid type provided that fits the conflict trajectory context (as the new event is the counter-move to the escalation), it is the most appropriate label among the limited options to denote the direct causal link between the active military phase and its predicted end."
