“There may still be a military retaliation”

Or maybe not. Did Reagan do a military retaliation for the Soviets’ shoot down of a passenger airliner with Americans aboard?

I also think Trump’s sanctions are being so effective, a military response would not accomplish anything more. Increase the sanctions even more, and watch the Iranian Government implode. The IRG will depose the Mullahs when the money to pay them runs out.

An effective response does not have to be an overt military one.
