CENTCOM and POTUS have both been very restrained in their characterizations of this one. I think some hard work is being put into brinksmanship-management (brinksmanagement?)
Meanwhile, Israel has continued strikes in southern Lebanon today…

Israel was onboard until Iran's proxies weren't...
If Iran can't control their proxies, maybe they shouldn't make peace with their proxies a condition of ending the fight.
They've been supplying Russia and whole Triple H alliance with arms and Iranian manufactured missiles, rockets and drones. Surely, somebody in the USIC could back calculate a ROME of their industrial output on this stuff. If they can't, this would actually a substantial USIC Intelligence failure.

Good luck collecting...
A Canadian court has ordered the government of Iran to pay $200 million to a British Columbia mechanic who was branded an ‘infidel’ and tortured for criticizing the Islamic regime.
In a decision obtained by Global News, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice awarded $100 million in compensation and another $100 million in punitive damages to Zahed Haftlang.
The court said Haftlang, an Iranian refugee who fled to Canada in 2001, merited the unusually large sum because of the “years of mistreatment” and “lifetime of mental trauma” he suffered.
Justice Lee Akazaki wrote that while a single judgment might not deter Iran’s abuses, the “accumulation of damage awards, often executed against Iran’s frozen foreign assets, has some effect.”
Although foreign governments are generally immune from Canada’s civil courts, Justice Akazaki ruled that Iran’s torture of Haftlang was motivated by the regime’s politics, religion and ideology.

The Ontario court ruled the Islamic regime's torture of Zahed Haftlang amounted to 'terrorist activity.'

Looks like today is a bluster and threats day, not a hugs and handshakes day.
“Trump said Tehran had taken "too long to negotiate a deal" and would now "have to pay the price", without giving specific details. He said Iran had been "completely defeated" and was "all talk and no action".
It came after Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi earlier warned his country would "leave no attack or threat unanswered", saying that the US had suffered "defeats on the battlefield".”

I am actually sure we don’t.
Ballistic missiles yes. But the smaller stuff, you can built it pretty much anywhere, including the basement of a home.

Seems the Americans blew up some water reservoirs for Tehran. If I was a Gulf state leader right now, I'd be sweating buckets about how my de-salinization plants just became "legitimate" targets.

CENCOM claims to have only struck AD and Command centers -- there doesn’t seem to be any corroboration of the allegations by the Iranian President, other than his twitter rambling (I see a Presidential trend here folks)
Edit -- well it looks like the NYT has
Video published by IRIB, the state broadcaster, and verified by The New York Times, showed a damaged concrete structure with a collapsed roof near the city of Kuhestak in Sirik county in Hormozgan province, on the coast of the Strait of Hormuz.
IRIB said that the facility was a water tank. The Times could not independently verify that claim or what caused the damage.

Is that "NYT provides corroboration of Iranian claims from non-anonymous sources", or "NYT repeats claims of others repeating claims of others repeating Iranian claims"?

I edited my original to note:

IRIB said that the facility was a water tank. The Times could not independently verify that claim or what caused the damage.
So the NYT verified that there was damage to a concrete structure in the area - but not what the building was, nor what caused the damage.

For a country that has had it military completely destroyed - a number of times apparently - they somehow manage pull strikes off.
