"Retaliate"

Can't retaliate when you've been justifiably responded to for an unprecedented attack on another nations consulate.

Definitely can, but only like 2 of the warheads out of hundreds actually got to the air base, and I don't think anyone was hurt. Which means most any response would be disproportionate. With the warnings Iran gave, seems like they were trying to deescalate while saving face domestically.

it also cost way more to stop than it cost them to launch. economic win.

didn't think of this before, but it was also very educational for everyone, so win there too
