Doubtful. Israel was always going to retaliate in some fashion, the only uncertainties were to what extent and when. As these response attacks were little more than a message to say "we can hit you back from within your borders" (as evidenced by being extremely limited in amount of firings and doing little real damage), it's more likely Iran will shrug it off with some sort of statement than retaliate with what we saw last weekend (much less declaring war).

So we are calling 3% a "plunge" now?
