>The operation was underway in its early stages when it was called off, a senior administration official said. Planes were in the air and ships were in position, but no missiles had been fired when word came to stand down, the official said.
>Trump’s critics accused him of “cold feet.”
[Yes, DS, please even ask POTUS to take out last DS stronghold. topkek.]
>Trump tweeted Thursday morning that “Iran made a very big mistake!”, but later suggested that the “mistake” may have simply been an accident. In the double meaning of the word “mistake,” he preserved both the threat of retaliation and the possibility of a diplomatic solution.
[Master of the Deal!]
>Regardless, Iran will know how close it was to being attacked, and still is.
