I don't think they're forcing our hand at all.  I think they "attacked" us so they could tell their people they got revenge.  But if reports are true that they didn't really hit anything or kill anyone, it's a perfect opportunity to de-escalate the situation and avoid a very expensive and pointless war.  I think they might have intentionally avoided hitting anyone or anything important, so as not to force Trump to back up his threats.

This is the best possible scenario, as long as it doesn't embolden the US to further flex its muscles with the idea that nothing can go wrong, and that everyone is going to continue to be intimidated.  It's an opportunity for everyone to get out of this crisis with minimal damage.

Iran has backed down.  As long as Trump understands this, everything will turn out okay.

Now that I see there is no casualties and they tipped us off ahead of time, I think this was a face saving maneuver. They don't want real conflict. It seems like the old adage of speak softly and carry a big stick has changed to speak loudly and throw tiny pebbles.
