There is no path to victory for usa or israel. Iraq, Afghanistan, ukraine, Yemen all proved that the usa can't win all it can do is make a mess.

The fact that this strike was so limited may be a sign that usa is trying to convince Iran to calm down while letting usa/israel save face but last time Iran calmed down and let israel save face israel forgot the lesson it had been taught. So the question is whether Iran is willing to let the zionists get away with things anymore. I get the feeling they are done playing this stupid game.

I actually think it's trying to get Israel to calm down.

I don't think I can agree, this is what Israel had been asking for from the US

Yes, but I don't think Israel expected its air defenses to become functionally useless and for Israel military buildings and airports to be demolished. I think Israel is increasingly desperate and the US needed to step in to do something to stop Israel from doing something big out of that desperation. I think that's why the US didn't go in with shock and awe. It was more symbolic than anything.
