"The US Defense Secretary's warning of 'full spectrum options' and blockade (Event 11) represents a significant escalation in US rhetoric and posture, which the Iranian FM's attempt to seek clarification and de-escalate (New Event) is a direct diplomatic response to."
"The US President's reaffirmation of opposition to Iranian capabilities and the broader hardline stance (including the rejection of the ceasefire mentioned in the new event) directly prompted the Iranian FM's diplomatic maneuvering to seek clarification and manage the conflict trajectory."
