US President Donald Trump is likely to “respond in force” and treat the latest Iranian attack as an escalation, according to David Des Roches, a retired US Army colonel, former Pentagon official and professor at the National Defense University. Des Roches said the US military strategy appeared to focus on isolating southern Iran before striking capabilities used to attack “neutral civilian shipping”. Trump may now consider targeting “national-level targets, command and control, and dual-use infrastructure around Tehran and other places in the interior of Iran”, he said, alongside renewed attacks on Iranian forces.
