There is still a chance this won't get further out of control

Iran would be wise not to open up another front with US

That doesn't mean US troops in the ME are now not in danger of retaliation by the Houthis and armed factions in Iraq etc.

Iran however seems to wait and see what the UNSC will do (likely nothing) while strengthening ties with Russia and China. They still have their nuclear stockpile and it doesn't seem that the US actually did that much damage to Fardow. 

Ignoring Trump is indeed the best option for now.

I do think the strategic play would be to ignore America for now, if it is true that Iran already emptied the facilities then all they've really lost is 3 empty facilities and even then, they're being reported as "severely damaged" instead of "destroyed" so is it really worth it to give America the excuse it desperately wants to bring them into the war, all over 3 mostly empty facilities being damaged?

Americans don't have the stomach for another long term war, but the moment Iran directly bombs a US military base, they'll be Americans foaming at the mouth to destroy Iran, the US media is already justifying these recent strikes, if Iran struck a US base then the media would be jerking off at the thought of war. But if Iran just ignores America and continues bombing Israel it puts Trump in an awkward spot, being the cuck to Israel that he is, it will make him more desperate to come up with some bullshit justification for a full scale bombing campaign on Iran which Americans won't support. The play should be to try to turn Americans anger against Trump.

Bombs a country under nonsense justification and then begs China for help in convincing them to not retaliate...Pathetic.
