general from planning another attack was “escalation in order to de-escalate.” Now Iran can tell it’s public (although the majority is resistant to the current leadership) they’ve retaliated.

Instead of completely destroying them which we have the overwhelming ability to do or killing off more of their leading terrorists, we give them an out- so there’s an option better than the status quo (Iran is hurting financially) and better than being destroyed.

It’s amazing to read leftists comments on here on how the sky is falling.
