Iran

The Iranians would probably like to retaliate for the killing of Suleimani by taking out someone close to Trump, someone who would remind Trump of it being revenge for Suleimani, someone who's name would somehow be associated with Suleimani. Do we know anyone close to Trump who's name sounds something like Suleimani? Rudy...Rudy...anyone...Rudy?

Pretty sure they know that Trump doesn't give a crap about his lackeys.

To answer the obvious question, first ask what the US would do in a similar situation? One informed president simply took out the offending weapons. And that settled it. Another informed president simply attacked the places that sponsored (ordered) the attack. An ignorant president simply took out obsolete aircraft while leaving untouched the actual problem - ingredients for nerve gases.

Iran wants peace - as was possible with internationally praised deals made before 2016. So their response will be tempered. Iran will probably attack American military facilities - a less agressive but 'tik for tak' response. And then will say no more will happen as long as America does not escalate - unilaterally attack again.

That response would be quite restrained, sends the message, and would hopefully end it. However we do not have a sane president. Trump wants war. His emotions and ego are at play. Most anyone who was responsible is no longer in his administration. So an insane response remains likely.
