Since the attack was carried out in Iraq and not Iran I expect a regional response by Iran via one or more of their proxies. With the recent history of a major U.S. military attack against a country after 9-11. I somewhat doubt they would carry out a retaliation on U.S. soil. In fact I think the thought of being linked to an attack on U.S. soil scares the hell out of them.

I think we are stocking up on popcorn right now. As to Trump's motivations I think they were more about not being in the same situation as Hillary was over Bengazi.

Even though I'm not an expert on military strategy I'm 110 % sure we will not be witness to an all out Iranian attack on American warships and/or their bases in the region.
I'm pretty sure, as Rockstar also mentioned in his latest comment- this retaliation will be done by some Iran supported militia who will attack American interest somewhere in the region. Markus |

Just like Israel we are going to just sit on the sidelines on this and enjoy the show.

Different to Russia Israel cannot afford to just sit on the sideline. It already is on high alert.
Iran has no air force worth the name that could reach Israel. But it has missiles. Plenty of them. And militias and terror groups. With drones.And best contact into the terrorism scene.

I doubt the Iranians will attack the US directly but they may attempt to take out Saudi oil production then Trump would probably take out the Iranian oil producing infrastructure.
I'll say one thing about the POTUS....any attack against the US or her allies will almost definitely be met with overwhelming proportionality.

Generally speaking, I'd say yes.: The follow-on attack killed 5 more Iran backed militiamen in a convoy 24 hours later.

In the news at 0100 some maleperson from the Danish military acedemy(similar to West Point) said in an interview.
Iran has a lot of long range missile who can reach far they can reach all the areas where American have bases or where their interest is. When I heard this I began to think what Skybird wrote in a response to my former comment. And I think Skybird is right-Iran will not engage USA directly. Then earlier today around noon I saw some Swedish news where some high ranked officer in the Iranian RG said something about the Hormuz, tankers lifeline to the west and American warship. Are The Iranian RG going to engage USA directly ? (I do remember some of you saying this RG are seperate from the leaders in Teheran) Personally I hope, now Iran has to ball, will kick it away.
