Iran...
I don't think the FAA grounded any flights, nor do they have purview there.

WASHINGTON — President Trump approved military strikes against Iran in retaliation for downing an American surveillance drone, but pulled back from launching them on Thursday night after a day of escalating tensions.

As late as 7 p.m., military and diplomatic officials were expecting a strike, after intense discussions and debate at the White House among the presidentâ€s top national security officials and congressional leaders, according to multiple senior administration officials involved in or briefed on the deliberations

A proportional response should occur.  It could be one that doesn't take human life.

If we hit AA missile batteries, they would be manned, usually with the missiles located in a circle surrounding the control site and radars. The US uses HARMs, missiles that home in on the radar itself, it take out the "eyes" and then the site is out of commission.

The other side tries to use frequency agile radars or just shut them down, but our HARMs remember the location. And this happens while an electronics warfare plane is standing off and blasting their radars with EM.

Given the systems are located near the coastline, this isn't difficult.

It's a drone. One drone. No one died. I see no reason to escalate over this incident. We should concede it was an accident and be understanding, even forgive them.

Demand Iran pay $300 million for the drone they destroyed. Then, clearly communicate should another accident befall the US again, even if a drone or plane or citizen is struck by a bolt lightening, the US will blame Iran and respond with overwhelming force.

Appeasement.  Were the tanker attacks also simple misunderstandings?  The world is watching.  North Korea, Venezuela, etc.  We don't have to initiate all-out war, but we do need to respond.

When is the world not watching? Why risk an "all-out war" when non-military options are available?
Sending Iran the $300 million bill for the drone is not appeasement.
Explaining should another accident such as this happen again, the US will respond with overwhelming force is not appeasement.
Don't conflate China/DPRK with Iran. Chairman Xi Jinping doesn't see Trump as weak... see his trip to the DPRK.

I do agree with one thing......strength is not always displayed in aggression....
