We await the American response in the morning.

Thoughts?

I don't think American will respond.

US were already on high alert and were aware of the missiles being launched against the two air fields, from what I understand the missiles were interceptable but the US done nothing, Iran can now say we retaliated and fired missiles at the US.

So possibly a plan to deescalate without Iran looking weak.

Who knows though..
