So all the chatter about troop withdrawal from Iraq the last few days were comms that troops were being moved out of harm's way. This was all theatre. POTUS has likely already made a deal with Iran and now their strings are being cut, just like with NK. Iran had to have a show of "strength" so they didn't lose all respect in the region but knew their strike would not take out any Americans.
Watch Iran become increasingly more cooperative and rational of the next few months, eventually leading to a change in leadership and a new way of life. Revolution without bloodshed.
POTUS is the greatest.
