The world awaits a 'measured' US response to Iran

After weeks of mounting tension and a war of words, both the United States and Iran have refrained so far from further escalating their conflict after a U.S. drone was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missileWednesday evening. According to multiple reports, the U.S. military made preparations for limited strikes on Iran but approval was withdrawn before the attacks were launched. The New York Times reported that President Trump had approved the strikes, but then called them off.
Earlier Thursday, Trump told reporters that Iran made a "very big mistake"but also said he had the feeling that it might have been the result of someone being "loose and stupid," rather than a deliberate provocation by Iran. Top administration officials and lawmakers had a classified briefing at the White House and suggested a "measured" U.S. response is likely coming soon. Fred Fleitz, who also served as chief of staff to current National Security Adviser John Bolton, told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" that the president has acted responsibly and with restraint but that the use of force against Iran "is on the table."
