The blowback has begun. The question is: Is it over?
Part of the tragedy of the escalating conflict is how utterly avoidable this was. President Trump’s reckless decision to assassinate a senior member of the Iranian government was predictably interpreted by Iran as an act of war and that country has responded with aggression of its own.
The governments of both nations now have an opportunity to de-escalate the situation and ward off further violence and death, but it remains to be seen if either will be wise enough to do so., hinted that Iran may be willing to stand down after its missile strike. “Iran took & concluded proportionate measures in self-defense under Article 51 of UN Charter targeting base from which cowardly armed attack against our citizens & senior officials were launched,” he wrote.
Will American officials also consider the matter concluded? Trump met with Defense Secretary Mark Esper at the White House Tuesday evening and later tweeted, in part, “All is well!” as he announced he would further address the attack in a statement on Wednesday morning. 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.
