US Strikes Iranian Targets, Iran Fires on US Bases as Iranian Officials Report 11 Killed

Left and right agree here

Both reads reject Trump's promise of harder attacks and want the strikes stopped or held narrow after the missile that hit a home hosting a wedding.

The Facts

US Central Command said it completed a wave of strikes against Iranian military targets on Tuesday.NPR
CENTCOM said the strike targets included air defence sites, radar systems and mine-laying capabilities.NPR
Iran fired ballistic missiles and drones at US military bases in the region, including in Jordan.RTE.ie

How left and right read it

Left says

The people absorbing this escalation are not combatants: shrapnel from a US missile tore through a home hosting a wedding, leaving four or five dead and dozens wounded, with eleven reported killed overall. That cost is being incurred over control of an oil shipping lane, and Trump's promise of harder attacks if Iran retaliates guarantees more of it. Quiet was possible before. Choose de-escalation over the next strike.

Right says

American force should buy American security and nothing broader — our people alive, the Strait of Hormuz open, not ownership of whatever comes next inside Iran. Hitting air defences and mine-laying capability fits that limit, yet a missile that struck a home hosting a wedding handed Tehran the grievance it answered with strikes on our bases in Jordan. Promising harder attacks only widens the mission. Keep it narrow.

What makes us different
