Well, there's the alleged first retaliation. How is the Orange Golem going to react? They killed Suleimani to get a reaction for a pretext for war. Even worse, this is just the start, there will be many more pearl clutching pretexts. They are still in mourning and Suleimani's funeral isn't until Monday.

Update: The commander of Kata'ib Hezbollah militia group in Iraq tells Iraqi security forces to keep at a distance of 1000 meters away from US bases starting Sunday night.
This comes after rockets were fired on the U.S embassy compound in Baghdad, no casualties reported.
But don't worry, in a few years time, after 3,500 American soldiers confirmed dead, 20,000 injured, 150,000 dead Iranians, and 10 million refugees flee to Europe; Sean Spicer will gleefully express some vague bullshit novelty take that justifies it all.

It seems it's over, Trumps speech today was a big back down on escalation. He's called for 'more sanctions' and 'international support'. He wants NATO to be more involved in the Middle-East. I believe military advisers and Zionist Liberals were telling him that he needs greater international presence and political capital to fully engage with Iran who has made it very clear they will defend themselves.
Even Jignats (Right-Wing Zionist Ultranationalists) were backing off from this. It's bad optics and puts all too much spotlight on Israel.
