I noticed last night that the Trump administration initially announced that he would be addressing the public, but it was called off right after Tucker Carlson ripped Trump for 45 minutes during primetime on FOX News. I don't know that there's any correlation, but my best guess is that there was.

I think Trump was initially going to try to start a full on war, but balked because the reaction to Iran's attack was instant and it was extremely negative towards Trump and his potential actions. He could basically tell right then that any further retaliation would most likely backfire even harder than the initial assassination.

While I do appreciate George Conway's willingness to publicly contradict his wife and his legal insights, I cannot digest or accept Kellyann's complicity with the Trump administration. Don't buy the whole "it could be a whole lot worse" explanation as certain situations are always unconscionable. Just can't get beyond feeling that his commentary is cognitively dissonant on many levels.
