Why It Matters
The US military initiated air strikes in Iran on May 10th, with President Trump signaling an escalation of retaliation for a US helicopter being shot down by Iran. This action threatens to undermine a temporary ceasefire that has been in place since early April.
米軍は10日、イラン国内の複数箇所で空爆を始めた。トランプ米大統領は同日、「きょうも再び激しく攻撃する」と述べ、9日に米軍ヘリコプターを撃墜したイランへの報復を強化する意向を示していた。イラン側の反発は必至で、4月上旬から続く両者の一時停戦が形骸化する恐れが強まっている。
