Restraint Would Be A Good Idea

In business, they say, don't throw your good money after bad.

Iran says it has "concluded" its response to the killing of its general, indicating that it is hoping the U.S. will not respond to the recent attack. #IranvsUSA

15 missiles, 4 failed.

Hopefully looking like 0 American casualties.

Is this Trump's opportunity to characterize Iran's response as a failure and then move to de-escalate?#IranvsUSA

With 0 casualties, looks like this was all a show of force.Iran knew if it killed Americans it would lead to it's distruction, they also knew they had to do something to save face with the Iranian people . Hopefully Trumps sees it this way and avoids war. #IranvsUSA pic.twitter.com/8hHSZpFgor

#IranvsUSA War isn't a joke.
People actually die.
It's not a video game.
There is no checkpoint.

When the pentagon claims no US casualties the following scenarios may result:
- The US military will use that as means to avoid escalating against Iran.

- Iranian people will feel the retaliation has not been severe enough, though it's not over yet.#IranvsUSA #Iran #IranAttacks

All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning.
