In POTUS’ speech, he made reference to an “early warning system” that “worked very well.”
He may have been acknowledging the Iranians giving ample warning of the attack via backchannels ie the warning given to other nations’ troops at specific bases of the attacks, knowing the warning would be shared with American forces at those bases. This would imply, as POTUS alluded to as well, a willingness to disengage and step back from hostilities. As for further hostilities in the future, we shall see.
