Can't imagine a scenario where the US doesn't respond militarily, whether it's tonight or in the near future.

I don't support a war, but Iran poked the bear this time.

I think you have that backwards.

Nope they started it all by attacking our embassy.
Was it ever directly proven to be Iran? Everything I've seen points to it being local militias with a tenuous connection to Iran at best. This whole thing feels more and more like a USS Maine situation as time goes on.

It was not directly Iranian forces, but they ordered it.
Any evidence of that?

I really don't think the American people will take the bait for war with Iran, things have changed significantly since 2003 in how we view war in the middle east.
