yakov_a_jerkovTrump Approves Strikes on Iran, but Then Abruptly Pulls Back
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.WaPo подтверждает информацию NYT.
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 president’s top national security officials and congressional leaders, according to multiple senior administration officials involved in or briefed on the deliberations.
Officials said the president had initially approved attacks on a handful of Iranian targets, like radar and missile batteries.
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.

It was not clear whether Mr. Trump simply changed his mind on the strikes or whether the administration altered course because of logistics or strategy. It was also not clear whether the attacks might still go forward.
Asked about the plans for a strike and the decision to hold back, the White House declined to comment, as did Pentagon officials. No government officials asked The New York Times to withhold the article.

Ядерным арсеналом заведует еще один член еженедельного "Bible study" при Белом доме - Рик Перри, который сыграл ключевую роль в передаче ядерных технологий Саудовской Аравии.
Работая губернатором Техаса, Перри боролся с засухой путем массовой молитвы на стадионе. В этих мероприятиях участвовал пастор Джон Хаги, который позже ездил с Трампом на церемонию в Иерусалим.
The Cornerstone Church – whose leader, John Hagee, gained notoriety for declaring that Hurricane Katrina was God's vengeance on a sinful New Orleans and suggesting that Jews had brought the Holocaust on themselves – sent about 700 members, travelling from San Antonio by car and bus. <...>
Until a last-minute change of running-order, Hagee was scheduled to speak directly after Perry. Hagee steered away from controversial subjects and offered prayers for the nation's leaders, before comparing Perry to Abraham Lincoln.
"We pray for our governor Rick Perry who has had the courage today to call this time of fasting and prayer just as Abraham Lincoln did in the darkest days of the civil war," Hagee said.

В церемонии участвовал также другой техасский проповедник Апокалипсиса, пастор Джеффресс https://yakov-a-jerkov.livejournal.com/1630221.html?thread=58615565#t58615565

Да, у любителей войны на это вся надежда.
