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.
