Iran will get blasted. Which is what needs to happen anyway It needs to happen, but it is unlikely. Iran won't openly retaliate with its own hand. It has proxies like Hezbollah to do that work for it. Iran will more aggressively attack our interests, but not openly. At least not openly enough to make it vulnerable to immediate, overwhelming response. That's the problem of not using overwhelming force in the first instance. We won't get the chance again. The mullahs know how to play this game against us. Just look at how they've used Quds to attack us in Iraq, and how powerless we are to react. The aggression simply isn't open enough to overcome political inertia against the use of force. So they bleed us by a thousand cuts.
