There was blood in the water. The sharks were swarming. Then, abruptly, they turned and swam back out to sea.
The "blood in the water" was Iranian blood. The swarming sharks were Israeli bombers in a feeding frenzy. Having taken out Iran's aerial defenses, they were free to bomb anyone, and anything they choose. They could not have dreamed of such a perfect feast.
Then, President Trump told Netanyahu, who is "Jaws" personified, to turn his planes around. Netanyahu obeyed. Not since Truman ordered an atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima has a singular show of American presidential power been made manifest.
I am not a Trump fan, but you give the devil his due.

Israel will not harm a hair on Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei's head. He is too useful. Never has Israel faced such an inept adversary, and a coward, to boot.
The Supreme Leader's absolute power over the Iranian people ensures Israel's power over Iran itself... (as long as Trump does not get in its way).

People are so busy patting Trump on his back for his pinpoint bombing of the Fordow nuclear facility, they seem to have forgotten that such a bombing is contrary to international law.
Israel and the United States have opened a "can of worms". When bombing nuclear facilities becomes fair game, then what isn't?
Nothing so opens the door to nuclear proliferation as bomb-happy superpowers - i.e., Israel, Russia, the U.S. - bombing any nation they please because those nations do not have nuclear weapons, i.e., Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, et al.
