The Dilation Inverts as Iran Fires on Three U.S. Destroyers in Hormuz on Day Two of Trump's One-Week Window
TL;DR
The dilation that opened with no deadline closed thirty hours later with anti-ship missiles, kamikaze drones, and a tanker seizure — Day Two of Trump's one-week window met live ammunition.
MSM Perspective
Reuters, AP, and the BBC frame the Hormuz exchange as a fragile-ceasefire wobble; CENTCOM and the IRGC Navy each carry the same hours as separate, opposite engagements.
X Perspective
X reads the kinetic exchange as the inversion vector the dilation always carried — credibility had to be reasserted by fire after the threat walked itself back twice in four days.
