Emotions are running high on both sides. There is great chance at graver error. But one hopes the forces of de-escalation are out in full force.
Although it can also feel the air weighs in with the next irrational move. It could be from either side.

Tehran insisted that it remains open to negotiations with European countries and maintains that it is not seeking a nuclear weapon. Russia today urged parties to the Iran nuclear deal to treat salvaging the agreement as a 'priority', calling on European partners to fulfil their obligations. Germany also joined France and Britain in urging Iran to refrain from taking 'further violent actions or support for them'. 'It is crucial now to de-escalate,' Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron and Boris Johnson said in a joint statement last night. EU foreign ministers will hold emergency talks on the Iran crisis on Friday, diplomats said today. The United Nations' atomic watchdog agency says its inspectors are continuing to monitor and verify Iran's nuclear activities.

1. More shameful that Pompeo was unwilling to make a similar statement.
2. How foolish that Trump threatened Iran, as a form of deterrence, with actions the DoD would never allow https://t.co/3PNAHtWt5s

What Soleimani wanted more than anything else was to get the US out of Iraq and for the rest of the world to see the United States as bloodthirsty, amoral actors to whom human life and culture are meaningless.

In one stupid week, Trump gave him everything he ever wanted.
