Perhaps the US has realised that their drone's routing was...in error? That's a difficult, disputed part of the world and something like a missed waypoint could easily cause an invisible territorial line to be crossed if the drone cuts a corner, probably unintended.
Routing in error / Rogue General..... cooler heads on both sides may be saying lets hold back a bit.
Iran will not back down but a behind the scenes "Diplomatic" conversation where both insist they were in the right may cool it down a bit. Sadly Bolton / Pompeo will still be pushing for war.
