Uh oh guys, he's threatening to do the thing he threatened to do a few weeks back before "extending" the timeline at the last minute. If Iran's not careful he might tell them they have 2 more weeks before he makes good on his threat.

I mean it's very similar to the Russo Ukrainian war.

You start off with a decapitation strike to take out the regime (which doesn't work) then slowly realize you need to commit more and more assets until you have a full scale invasion with ground troops and you realize you're on day 1,516 of your 4 day special military operation.

fair, but russia directly borders ukraine and attacked areas at the border, it'd be more comparable if they attacked portugal.
