They have already broken it but so far it was "small enough" that Iran didn't retaliate.
In a better world Iran would get a massive emergency delivery of AA systems and would take any small incursion by drones to pummel the colonists back to the stone age, specially around Gaza. But I'm not expecting the resumement of hostilities to go so well.

If he had any blame for his children becoming that then he should be oppressed.
Otherwise, it is another story, and reminder, of a multitude of what the empire does to people they don't like everyday.
They want to normalise striking Iran while using the counter attacks as anti-Iranian propaganda to push for more attacks. They've been doing similar things against Russia.
Practically, a Moon or Mars settlement would have to be built underground to be safe from this radiation.
Underground shelter is hard to build and not flexible or easy to expand. Settlers would need enormous excavations for room to supply all their needs for food, manufacturing and daily life.
Big solar powered excavators on the moon, built from locally source materials, to push regolith above shelters, or to mine the metals that will be used while opening holes for large scale bases could solve a lot of the scalability problems of building underground on the Moon, I think.
Titan is the only other body in the solar system with liquid on the surface, with its lakes of methane and ethane that look startlingly like water bodies on Earth.
I still feel Europa would be better in that regard. It's water may not be on the surface but it's still water. Although I do prefer if we explore it thoroughly for life before settling there.
It’s cold on Titan, at -180°C (-291°F), but thanks to its thick atmosphere, residents wouldn’t need pressure suits—just warm clothing and respirators. Housing could be made of plastic produced from the unlimited resources harvested on the surface, and could consist of domes inflated by warm oxygen and nitrogen. The ease of construction would allow huge indoor spaces.
The health benefits of being protected from radiation and these things do look like nice advantages to have though. So although there might not have a beeline for Titan from the start, it could serve as a great staging point for the colonisation of the Saturnian gravity well.
For example, you could fly. The weak gravity—similar to the Moon’s—combined with the thick atmosphere would allow individuals to aviate with wings on their backs.
And that does look fun to do around the plastic skyscrapers of Titan.
Could wait at least until all three countries send their representatives somewhere to talk about some sort of cessation of attack. Probably more.
Iran showed the yanks that they won't do anything worthy of attention when they are attacked in their most precious infraestructure, so now the US is going to escalate in some other way. Rinse and repeat.
Either that or they are doing what Russia did in Syria wrt Chemical weapons. The US said they would attack unless Syria gave up its chemical weapon, the last part being a joke that Russia accepeted as true and made the US accept it.
I guess there is a non zero chance of Iran saying that because they know an attack is coming so they say they agree to it starting before such an attack comes, while being reafy for either outcome.
Doubt it's the case but who knows.
If that's true it just sounds really dumb...
...so it might be true.
I wonder if Iran is in talks with the Palestinian fighters to lob some ballistic missiles at occupation forces in Gaza as well. Has anyone heard about things like that?
Infinite series (with some partial fractions) and Taylor series. It started fine but I'll need a lot of time to understand this part.
I got lucky that my teachers so far were good and fair, and I also had a month to study after the first test, which helped a lot to drill down the pre-calculus.
I guess it's hard for those living close to it all...
Good luck to us all.
Any lack of retaliation will be seen as a green light for more attacks and even the yanks are likely to join in. Any retaliation will also result in more attacks but at least this way Iran can reduce the colonists capabilities which they will inevitably have to do.
The question is, will waiting to attack favour Iran or the imperialists?
If Iran can get new military gear (like from China,) but only during the "truce", reorganize and root out traitors then waiting a while may be the best move, but they don't have forever for that.
