No US-Iran war, reason prevails

Sorry pessimists. After ending the 1+ decades of Soleimani murders last January 3, oil prices didn't reach $90 or higher; stocks didn't collapse; no casualty on both US and Iran troops, no "WW3" alarmism. Iran missiles were just fireworks in the night not intended to kill any US soldier and hence, was not meant to escalate. Rationality has prevailed on both sides.
