It appears that Trump has fallen into a familiar pattern, like when he threatened to wipe out an entire civilisation.

This pattern has become somewhat recognisable: Escalating publicly, create hard deadlines, and then threaten overwhelming force, at the same time leaving an open window for diplomacy.

The reason that Trump may be trying to do this is because he has, as we know, as of about 24 hours ago, paused what is known as Project Freedom, and that was the US escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

He says the reason for doing so is to give diplomacy a window of opportunity, and so that does reinforce the point that there are signs and signals of something imminent.
