What is being said now:

...the incident appeared to be the result of a “misunderstanding” which could be quickly resolved.

Something tells me this won't result in an all-out war.

Sounds like you're right, but we shall see. If nothing else this serves as yet another reminder to keep our powder dry.

I'm reminded of the Marine who was guarding the Tehran embassy in 1979 (Kevin Hermaning?) expressing regret that he and the other Marines didn't open fire when the embassy was stormed. The West can afford no more displays of weakness towards Iran.
