    From axios.com

    The Trump administration is preparing for an Iranian attack against American bases in the Gulf in retaliation for its strike on Iran's nuclear facilities this weekend, U.S. officials say. Why it matters: The scope of the Iranian retaliation — particularly the number of casualties — will determine how President Trump responds, and whether the U.S. plunges deeper into Israel's war with Iran. Trump is scheduled to meet with his national security team at 1 p.m. ET at the White House to discuss the threat.

There will be nothing left of Iran if they continue this fight. Only logical choice is stop hostilities and negotiate. I have no doubt they can get huge monetary incentives, trade deals, lifted sanctions, etc. Or be destroyed in a war that they can’t, under any circumstances survive. You have to know when to fold, so to speak.

This was predictable.

It's "okay" to respond, but the scale of the damage of this response will make the difference.


If Iran is smart enough, they will set a limited attack, without any dead Americans, and finish the war.
If Iran is foolish enough, they will set a significant attack, with dead Americans, and escalate the war.
