US-Iran Conflict: Initial Strikes Fail to Prompt Surrender, Counterattacks Force US Facility Closures

With little encouragement from Saudi Arabia and heavy pressure from Israel, Donald Trump went into the war against Iran with great vigor, even managing to assassinate the top war and defense officials, including Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, at the first stroke. The war will not be won in a few months, so Trump has to say. The way the United States and Israel simultaneously scrambled warplanes, missile drones, and assassinated Khamenei on February 28, it was assumed that Iran's resistance would boil over. Iran would surrender to the imperialist United States. But in reality, nothing happened. Four days of heavy shelling took place. Iranian drones, missiles, etc. targeted US military bases in various West-Asian countries (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, UAE, etc.). As a result, the United States was forced to close several military bases and close several warfighting facilities inside the embassy.
