If the article is correct, they were not only launched from Iran, but Iran admits it.

This is going to get very interesting in terms of internal US politics. The Democrats don't trust Trump, including in terms of his motives and judgment in dealing with Iran. They also, in general, oppose war. They're trying to use the War Powers Act to reign him in. But if they do so, and prevent a response to this latest attack, that could cost a number of them dearly in the next election - especially since Iran is not likely to stop at firing a few missiles at two US bases.

Neocons are in both parties and have influenced both Bush and Obama to “architect” the ME. These are globalists who want to accelerate their global political vision ("democratize" everyone and we’ll all get along). [so they can make their money]
I was under the impression that the globalist vision wasn't about democracy, even though that's the[ir] claim, and that it's really about controlling money and oil.
Democrat voters may oppose war, but the same can not be said for democrat politicians.
