I wasn't commenting on the 'big picture' personally - though I have to sadly agree with your summary, the gist being that 'Iran would lose any fight, big time, while everyone would lose the war'.
I was simply saying that from the small amount of info' on earlier posts I can glean here - and not knowing the ranges or actual U.S.warships involved - I think it appears to show admirable constraint & discipline from the U.S. involved.
Myself, and I haven't a big red 'phone on my desk I'll admit, I don't think the U.S. are going to deal with Iran except possibly in more subtle but still effective ways, for the foreseeable future.
