    Reports indicate it was a muted response to indicate an intention to deescalate. They had to do something but they didn’t go crazy. We’ll see, I guess.

      I heard they fired six missiles - the same amount the US used - intentionally. Targeted non-civilian locations. Weren’t complete dicks about it.

        Same thing when trump assassinated soleimani. They rattle a saber a little bit and call it even. Trump announced a ceasefire agreement 3 hours ago so it looks like business as usual.

          Evidently it’s an imaginary ceasefire agreement and nobody even asked Iran, so… We’ll see. The token retaliation suggests they aren’t trying to escalate with the US specifically.
