Hopefully accurate. Was a missile attack a 'proportionate' response to a dead general? Would flattening the launch sites be a proportionate response to a proportionate response?

If there are no US casualties then no reason for retaliation. Iran have 'saved face' and given their news services some pretty pictures. Call this one even and move on.

I doubt Iran will stop at this action. It may now aid its proxies to escalate.
