USA isnt..there is simple confusion..
USA did nothing in syria and let russia and iran take control
iraq is lost cause due to share size of shia population but losing yemen and syria is total failure of gulf countries and USA policy of restraining iran..
infatc even lebanon is seemingly slipping away from saudis...
effectively after this strike iran has
iraq 100% check
syria 90% check
yemen 50% stale mate check
lebanon 50% fight still going on
if anything this strike will be welcomed by iranian as it sets up a perfect ploy for them to take iraq and push out americans ..the very reason why there will be no response..its their win..a single commander has no value in this game of chess
