Both sides are claiming huge achievements at there end. USA has a proof that he killed Iranian general while Iran has no such proof of USA base attack. Iran should stay away from war with USA as Irani land and it's people will suffer the most.
This is exactly what has happened here. Both sides are going to go back to their people and say that they did a great job. That's how politics works, people are both aiming for themselves.
I don't think something like this was planned from the beginning, I guess that's just me being someone who believes in some conspiracies.
At least we're going to avoid war, for now. We really shouldn't be involved in countless endless wars.
With all the drama it's easy to overlook the fact that 3 days ago Iran officially withdrew from the Nuclear deal which still existed with all ~8 original countries + UN and EU (and the pope lol) other than America till then.
Ironic considering one of Trumps main criticisms was that the deal was for only 15 years, and here we are 5 years into it.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/05/world/middleeast/trump-iran-nuclear-agreement.htmlThis means no more inspections, no more limited uranium enrichment, and the possibility that a year from now they'll have nuclear weapons.
When President Trump withdrew the United States from the Iran nuclear deal in May 2018, he justified his unilateral action by saying the accord was flawed, in part because the major restrictions on Iran ended after 15 years, when Tehran would be free to produce as much nuclear fuel as it wanted.
