HN crowd really missed the mark on this one - it was pretty clear Iran had no options.

Missed the mark in what way?

Most HN thought things would escalate and would lead to a full blown war.

Seems to early to tell?

Maybe, but if you said that a cease fire will follow the US operation people would call you crazy, despite all signs showing that Iran had no options.

Well doesn’t seem that off the mark:

But agree it doesn’t seem like Iran is holding many cards.
