Eh, they’re still doing the announced tit for tat. Like after soleimani got schwacked, they lobbed missiles at a US airbase and that was the end of it. It’s saving face by doing something in response, but also not actually escalating by not inflicting any significant damages.
So, despite how ridiculous it looks calling for peace after an exchange of missiles, that’s probably what will happen. The only confounding factor is Israel and that may be the catalyst to sparking more conflict.
The fact that Trump is under the thumb of Israel, who want to obliterate Iran, and putin, who doesn’t, is entertaining to say the least. It’s a complete crap shoot how this ends up overall.
Creating “terrorists” a couple of planeloads of bombs at a time. This is not geopolitics. It’s war. Only the western world could be so crass. It’s only a couple of bombs on sovereign soil…meh. I say this as a Canadian. If the US lobbed bombs at us today I’d be on the warpath. I imagine there are some Iranians with those thoughts as well. It won’t be a one and done even if it’s not all out traditional war.

I’m not justifying the initial strikes, just saying that it probably won’t escalate. At least not immediately.
