I've Been Thinking:

Iran has, for all intents and purposes, declared war on the United States in Iraq and Syria.

Over the past several weeks, US forces have been targeted by Iran’s proxies almost every day. Even the US embassy in Baghdad has been attacked.

The attacks come in the form of missile strikes and drone strikes. The drones being used are becoming more and more sophisticated. To date, thankfully, no personnel have been killed.

And now, the United States has begun to strike back.

Iran has an agenda. Iranian leadership is ratcheting up tensions in order to force US involvement – to goad the United States into conflict with their proxies. Iran wants the US to hurt – Iran wants the United States to suffer the loss US lives.
That hurt will come as events escalate.

Iran does not care about the lives of their proxies, about those who will bear the brunt of US counter strikes. Iran cares about Iran, only and exclusively.
