All the while, if this weekend's attack was launched from Iran, we should presume Tehran has priced in a Saudi or US response and prepared its counter, with another rung up the escalatory ladder. With everyone “locked and loaded” – it's a good time to slow down, and think.Making the case publicly to justify a limited Saudi response – should they wish to act – may be the best of bad options. But any such action must be preceded and followed by proactive US-led engagement in the region and around the world to mitigate risks of spiral.— Brett McGurk (@brett_mcgurk) September 16, 2019
