At a moment when diplomacy still flickers, Donald Trump chose the language of imagery over the language of negotiation — posting an AI-generated portrait of himself armed with a rifle while warning Iran to 'get smart soon.' The United States maintains its naval blockade at the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most consequential waterways, rejecting Tehran's revised proposals and signaling that patience in Washington has reached its limit. History reminds us that the distance between provocative posture and irreversible action is rarely as wide as those who strike the pose believe.
