I never thought I would see the day when the U.S. strikes another country during wartime and

the collective reaction is a yawn. Not the lead story on CNN. Not a huge topic here on DU.

This new attack happened just an hour or so ago. For days, the administration has declared that they gave concessions to open the strait of Hormuz. Now it looks like they gave all those concessions and Iranians have no intentions of opening the strait. So we attacked again.

The muted reaction makes me think that everyone is just numb. I know I am.

Iran war live: US attacks Iran after Trump threat to respond to Gulf fire

Iran’s IRGC says US attack ‘will not go unanswered’
We have a statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which has been shared by Iran’s ISNA news agency.

The IRGC said its naval and air forces “succeeded in neutralising” the US attack, which it said was carried out on Sirik island.

“We emphasise that this aggression will not go unanswered, and our response will be swift and decisive at a time and place of our choosing,” the statement said.

The IRGC also added that “any new foolishness will be met with a harsh response”.

Negotiations are perfect. We hold all the cards. Iran is decimated. We won the war after week one. I signed a memorandum so all's well. I can't keep track.
