Ego is THEE major driving force in all trouble with humans. Arrogance and the inability to risk losing face has driven conflict from the dawn of civilization.

Iran just batting the ball back
Hopefully America now winds its neck in and it settles down to a simmering volcano

If the reports of 80 American troops killed are accurate, then the response will be extreme.

80 American troops killed? Fack off.
If that was true, you can kiss Tehran goodbye and I would love to be the one to push the button. Especially if it takes out that supreme leader of theirs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And what about the supreme leader of the US?
Why exactly would you love to be the one to push the button?
Conflicting reports it seems...
In a tweet, President Trump suggested that damages and casualties sustained by American forces were minimal. But he also said the assessment of the attacks was ongoing.
“All is well!,” he said in a tweet. “Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good!”
Later, senior Iraqi defense officials who work with the United States command said no Americans or Iraqis had been killed in the attacks.
The missiles, launched from Iran, struck the Al-Asad base in Baghdad and another in Erbil, in northern Iraq.
In a briefing in Washington, an official said that the Pentagon “had no confirmation” that any Americans had been killed.
Time will tell as always.
I'm American, White house saying its "unclear re casualties" What you can take to the bank is that if there are 80 dead US military, then the Iranians have just facked up HUGE

True, but should they also just sit there and do nothing whilst the US targets Iranian citizens in their own country?
Obviously I don`t have the background on this, none of us have, but it certainly appears to be a case of bullying by your president/military to see how far they can push things. It`s an election year and a typical move of his party, not to mention deflecting from impeachment proceedings.

Exactly not forgetting that they have nuclear capabilities and will probably use them if needed and we know where they will drop those too.
Most people over here doubted the Iranian's would respond properly and would probably balls it up in some way or another. The Navy and Air Force were moving some serious "hardware" around yesterday in anticipation !

All True... In our defense we took out someone we believe to be a sponsor/ enabler of terrorism. We didn't target civilians. They managed to kill more civilians themselves in the stampede at the blokes funeral

A British nuclear attack sub is in the Gulf just now, unfortunately the red button for it is in Trump's office.

hardly a citizen and he was in another country up to no good
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oops, forgot he was in Iraq when killed, but is still an Iranian citizen, whether military or not.

The US does as much itself. The US took out one of its enemies, whether he enabled or sponsored terrorism (according to US claims) is irrelevant. Its just justifying the action after the fact.
====
Iraq’s prime minister revealed that he was due to be meeting the Iranian commander to discuss moves being made to ease the confrontation between Shia Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia – the crux of so much of strife in the Middle East and beyond.
Adil Abdul-Mahdi was quite clear: “I was supposed to meet him in the morning the day he was killed, he came to deliver a message from Iran in response to the message we had delivered from the Saudis to Iran.”
The prime minister also disclosed that Donald Trump had called him to ask him to mediate following the attack on the US embassy in Baghdad. According to Iraqi officials contact was made with a number of militias as well as figures in Tehran. The siege of the embassy was lifted and the US president personally thanked Abdul-Mahdi for his help.
There was nothing to suggest to the Iraqis that it was unsafe for Soleimani to travel to Baghdad – quite the contrary. This suggests that Trump helped lure the Iranian commander to a place where he could be killed. It is possible that the president was unaware of the crucial role that Soleimani was playing in the attempted rapprochement with the Saudis. Or that he knew but did not care.
One may even say that it is not in the interest of a president who puts so much emphasis on American arms exports, and whose first official trip after coming to office was a weapons-selling trip to Saudi Arabia – during which he railed against Iran – to have peace break out between the Iranians and the kingdom. But that would be far too cynical a thought.
Abdul-Mahdi spoke of his disappointment that while Trump was expressing his gratitude over the mediation, he was also simultaneously planning an attack on Soleimani. That attack took place not long after the telephone call from the president.
There is also the possibility that the US military planners knew nothing about the conversations between Trump and Abdul-Mahdi, and took out Soleimani when the opportunity presented itself.
