Looks like it’s holding…
HN crowd really missed the mark on this one - it was pretty clear Iran had no options.
Missed the mark in what way?
Most HN thought things would escalate and would lead to a full blown war.
Seems to early to tell?
Maybe, but if you said that a cease fire will follow the US operation people would call you crazy, despite all signs showing that Iran had no options.
Well doesn’t seem that off the mark:

But agree it doesn’t seem like Iran is holding many cards.
Great, but we'll have to wait to see what Israel and Iran say, as Trump is a known fabulist.
