I've Been Thinking:

US is acting against Iran. This is a direct response to Iran’s attacks on Saudi oil facilities. US has concluded that Iran perpetrated the attacks on September 14. England, France and Germany have also concluded that Iran attacked the Saudi oil fields and refineries.

So, the US is tightening sanctions on Iran. Brian Hook the US Special Envoy for Iran says that the US must move "prudently". The US does not want to move too quickly or to make a drastic mistake by attacking or acting too aggressively.

Hook spoke at the Asia Society in NYC he said: "It is that Iran has crossed the line by this attack on another country's sovereignty."

This kind of calculated, slow response to Iran is very unlikely to intimidate Iran.
