Iran can't trust what the US tells them. They can't trust the statement by Trump that it was a one-and-done and the matter is settled. By not attacking US assets as they threatened they would do, their threats become more hollow. Yet overall I think they won't attack US assets because it gains them little and costs them lots, when they could instead just keep on attacking Israel. I expected more attacks on Israel by now. Maybe Israel actually has already severely degraded their missile capability, even though it was distributed and buried. I know anti-Zionist sources are saying Iran has some strategy to firing fewer missiles but I'm not sure I believe them, sounds like "hopium" to me. I think Iran may have just been decimated on all fronts. Maybe they still have capacity and are holding back for some reason, but I'm not confident at all. We are living in the world where the greatest power is a bully and ignores all laws, international laws and it's own laws, and cynically frames things as if it is a good guy and the other parties defected... while Iran was negotiating not bombing, while Iran has been under IAEA inspections, and it is Israel that has not signed the NPT. It is perverse. The UK in the security council meeting called on Iran to execute restraint. The Russian Federation called it out: "It is very strange to be participating in this theatre of the absurd, this cynical theatre. We had the representative of the UK calling on Iran, on IRAN! to exercise restraint, a country which was subjected to an unprovoked attack, which had its nuclear sites bombed, as if it were Iran and not Israel and the U.S. that were escalating the situation." He also says of the US: "We will be hearing cynical statements about readiness to return to the negotiating table as if there were no strike using heavy payload bombs on Iran." and as he says this, the US delegate takes a deep breath, picks up her phone and starts texting.
