Well, Iran has responded now with a missile attack on two US bases in Iraq.

Nobody hurt.

No one injured.

No Americans, no Iraqis.

So I don't know if this is the full retaliation.

But to me, it's kind of interesting.

I wonder if I was wondering on the way in if they had done this on purpose.

You know, so it's not to really incur our wrath and another powerful strike on their interests.

And then we see this article from Michael Prejent.

Says Iranian missile attacks on two US, two joint US Iraqi military bases.

Didn't kill or injure any Americans.

And that appears to have been a deliberate move by Iran to avoid a retaliatory strike by US forces.

Iran had to strike back at the US in some way after an American drone attack ordered by President Trump,

killed Iranian terrorists, General Qasam Soleimani and other terrorists,

Friday morning in Iraq, but the leaders of the Iranian regime are smart enough to know

that if they had killed Americans in their retaliatory strike,

Trump would have responded with deadly force.

I they're afraid of Donald Trump and the US military.

Because they know that Trump will order the US military to take people out.

This could have sparked a rapidly escalating series of strikes and counter strikes as each side

hit back at the other could have eventually led to a costly war that would have hurt Iran far
