After Iran shot down an American attack helicopter on Monday evening, President Donald Trump responded yesterday with shelling on radar installations in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran immediately responded with attacks on US bases in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain. Is this an end to the ceasefire? The death knell for the negotiations? Defense specialist Roger Housen analyzes: “It is ironic that Trump is doing what he banned Israel and Iran a day earlier. He has to save his image, but Iran shows that the emperor wears no clothes.”
