Not an optimistic 1st bluesky post, but what we just heard was not reassuring from POTUS. Was hoping for remarks that even minimally gave Iran a route to save face and deescalate, but that, alas, is not what we got. Now we wait to learn the damage assessment from US bombing & see what Iran does next
