- The Biden administration is trying to deter attacks on US troops without igniting an Iran war.
- US airstrikes aim to instill fear, as it's very difficult to destroy all of the militant's weapons.
- Iran knows this and is "setting the United States up for a lose-lose choice," an analyst said.
Strikes against American troops in Iraq and Syria have dropped off after the blitz of US airstrikes last Friday and the assassination of a militia commander by drone. But experts on the region say that Iran and its militant allies still have the arsenal and motivations to threaten the US.
