When Trump broke the JCPOA, he also levied severe economic sanctions against Iran. Basically economic war.
All the things Iran has been doing, shooting down a drone, messing with shipping, has been in response to those sanctions. They are in a fight to survive.
So when Trump said he wasn't going to respond, just lay on some new sanctions, he was escalating the conflict.
So while the Cult is high fiving, Iran is planning their next moves.
No, it's not over, it's hardly begun.
The rational way out of this is to drop the sanctions in return for starting negotiations.
Trump can't do that. The raw meat crowd doesn't want him acting sane.
So war it is.
