Staged or not - the action shown was a nice one, the world applauds.
1. act: Trump murders a diplomat on a diplomatic mission initiated by the US.
2. act: The Iraqi parliament decides that the US has to leave the country. The Premier gives there a nice speech, explaining to the public how US diplomacy works: "Give us 50% of your oil income" "No, the Chinese have given us better conditions" "Stop this or we start demonstrations against you" "No" "Ok, then our snipers will kill as protesters as police, it worked nicely in Ukraine" "No, and I will tell the people about this" "Then I will kill you".
3. act: The US looks totally confused. "To run away or not to run away, that is the question".
4. act: Iran promises revenge. Trump answers that if Iran attacks some US forces, he will bomb Iran in a very harsh way, 52 or so targets, including some culturally very important things.
5. act: Iran simply attacks two US bases, with live pictures of Khamenei from the command center. And tells the US that if they attack Iranian soil, there will be a much stronger next attack.
6. act: Trump asks his generals to start the attack against the 52 Iranian sites, the generals explain to him that in this case there would be many many dead US soldiers. And explain to him it is much better to let those 50 soldiers die somewhere else in car accidents or so and not to retaliate at all. Trump submits, and declares that the US will accept that slap in the face. The generals stand behind him to check that he really says what they have told him.
End of the first part, standing ovations worldwide.

If you want some more pictures, no problem:
What is really interesting is that all the hits are hits of particular chosen targets, no hits of the nearby useless area itself. So, these weapons hit with sufficiently high precision.
