Yes. 'bl00 might help quantify concern more, but this is at least a moderate escalation. It sounds like what mk once outlined, that Trump could start a war to distract from domestic woes. Of course we should worry about how much escalating the tension may appeal to Trump as a welcome diversion to impeachment and related news:

I'm no expert on whether or not we should apply some sort of leverage to Iran, but are we not weary of wars in the middle east yet?

I'll be back tomorrow with a more nuanced opinion, I'm still taking in details.
