Many did not believe that Iran could retaliate. Out of 22 missiles fired from 20 milles away only four failed to hit target.

Really?

I think your heading is misleading.

Any further actions by the trump led government would have led to deadly outcomes

A fight between Iran and US is like a fight between a 30-year-old and a mad 6-year-old. The little boy would be beating you with all his might but you will be helpless.

Why didn't they retaliate all the while trump was there,but did it the day he left office.

They know trump will crush them had they did it when he was in office.

They know democrats don't like war.

US is not that gentle.

They failed to take further steps because they were not ready to wage war against country like Iran or North Korea. If US Iraq war could lead to recession what of Iran that's more powerful?

Attack on Iran would bring economic consequences.

The attacks were in retaliation for Trump aggression.

what is the economic value of Iran to US.

They should have done that during trump,not doing what they know trump won't have the time and opportunity to retaliate,and let's see the economic consequence

Iran is more powerful that Iraq

Iran is more powerful than Iraq and it took US about 3 trillion dollars, close to 700,000 troops and alliance of 49 countries to defeat Iraq.

A fight between the two would have been a very stupid one for both of them. US would eventually win but would suffer a lot from the fight.

Learn about the strait of hormuz. You will understand why US cannot just wage a senseless war with Iran. Both countries would lose terribly.

The US cannot afford war with Iran especially as Russia is backing them.

It is more than that. War is not fought on account of military strength alone.

Why did US form coalition with military of 49 countries to defeat Iraq that is less powerful compare to Iran?

FYI, the US of A is always ready for any war on the homeland and it’s interest. As regards Iran, the collateral damaged will be too much, besides its an Isrealis war not the Americans.

Don’t you ever under-estimate the power of the US military never ever!

The economic consequences here he’s referring to is the world economy. Middle East hold large supply of oil around the world.

A war with Iran will spread quickly to the whole of Middle East. I believe That’s the consequences that he’s talking about.

You nailed it. The Strait of Hormuz, the global oil supply from the Middle East will suffer if a war break out, the whole will feel it instantly.

Iran is like a child, who want to be independent and not controlled by any elders, I respect their sovereignty and wishes though.

Obama saw this and decided to rather unite, get closer, instead of causing Yeye hostility that further destabilizes the world economy.

Isreal and Iran are two sovereign nations, let them settle their own scores.

But here is the irony, Iran has been a superpower before. 100s of years ago. The US and uncle same only became superpower about 100 years ago. Iran has seen what the US does, they don't want to be pushed over and their region destabilise by the US as they have been doing in many other places.

That’s understandable but power shifts. Just the same way UK was once super powerful, the Persian empire reigned too, just like Oyo empire.

Power shifts, when it does everybody want to maintain their stand.

Nobody underestimates US military power but attacking Iran does not worth the money and the casualties that will be involved.

Biodun556:

Right, it’s just not worth it. Especially when Iran is not even attacking the homeland. Isreal can learn how to live peacefully with its neighbors and those they donated land to them in the first place.

They should start by appreciating Palestinians instead of trying to take more of their land
