I was thinking it would be one of three responses (more)


1. No response (unlikely)
2. Attack the launch sites tonight's missiles came from. (could be an appropriate measured response). I don't think this would be considered an escalation (i.e. Iran made that choice by launching from within their own borders).
3. Attack Iranian oil facilities. This would hurt Iran economically, but Iran could retaliate against the oil facilities of our Allies in the Persian Gulf.
4. Use this opportunity to damage/degrade their nuclear program.

I don't think either side wants this to get escalated too much, so I think #2 is the most likely.
