I feel like the response from Iran was basically the equivalent of "we don't want any trouble". Felt like the minimum they could do and save face. I'm sure there will be more to come, but they seem to be on eggshells out of the gate. Maybe they are just buying time for something more though.Will Iran back off now that the US has bared its teeth?
I was talking Paul about this today and he suggested that accidentally shooting down that Ukrainian passenger jet the other day may have added to their desire to chill shit out a bit. Makes sense to me. They don't want a US hot war and they just killed a bunch of civilians on accident. Time to chill before the next round of pressure. They have keep pushing as long as they suffer under crippling sanction, either that or roll over on their backs and give up everything to Trump. Iranians are a hard, strong people, they aren't about to roll over.
