Well at least the line is very clear now and maybe people thought Trump wasn't serious. Do you remember when he stood down the imminent attack on Iran a while back for shooting down a drone, his response no American lives were lost so he wasn't going to take any Iranian ones. This was an interesting perspective.
He warned them very clearly, if even one American life is lost the response will be swift and overwhelming. The more lives lost the bigger the attack, and Trump isn't fooling around either, if Iran wants to plan a bigger badder response that kills dozens, then Trump will respond tenfold.
And target leadership as well.
It's MAD all over again, but Iran can't win this with Trump at the helm. I don't like it at all, war is not a good thing, but Iran needs to be very careful with it's next moves.
This isn't Obama.

I see it all the same . As a former soldier I knew I was never safe in a foreign country . As bad as I was even I was probably not working on as many devious acts of covert war as this guy probably does and if I may be I would fully expect any enemies would take any opportunity to be rid of me. The part that surprises me is that this guy exposed himself so easily . I still hope we fully withdraw from Iraq . Now would be a good time because there will be an increase in activity now.

Looks like the chances of war with Iran have increased with this little stunt.
"Perhaps one of the most important accomplishments of my administration is minding my own business."

I would say if nothing escalates in the next year, then the attack will be successful in terms of "deterring future Iranian attack plans". Legality and morality aside of course.
Maybe Iranians in America are celebrating because they believe that this is a signal of regime change in Iran led by the US. But this guy was immensely popular in Iraq/Syria/Iran for defeating ISIS. I am quite surprised by the prevalence of ISIS sympathizers in this thread.
Or different things are different. I don't want war, but I also won't cower like a beaten dog when faced with lunatic killers like the leaders of Iran, they would happily kill you and everyone you ever cared about. If Trump wanted open war with Iran, there have been several prior opportunities that we saw him decline.
