Trump 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.

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.

President Obama's weakness and indecision may have saved us from doing a horrible and very costly (in more ways than money) attack on Syria!

Reuters сообщает, что Трамп пытался связаться с руководством Ирана через Оман.

Именно поэтому я думаю, что это преднамеренный информационный "вброс".

Я правильно понимаю, что он отказался, а надо было бомбить.

А вот если бы он отдал приказ на бомбить, то тогда был бы мудак\молодец?

"тhere must have been a real fear of escalation, and he used the "humanitarian" reason"
Для начала, первой отмазкой обосравшевося от испуга Трампа была не "humanitarian", а то что Иран сбил дрон "by mistake, unintentionally".
Но самое главное если Трамп так боиться "escalation" и понимает, что войну с Ираном он начать не может, зачем этот мудак угрожает Ирану, зачем он перебросил к Ирану авианосную группировку и две тысячи военнослужащих?
И что будет теперь, после того как Iran call his bluff? Завтра Иран собьет американский самолет или потопит судно, что Трамп будет делать? Начнёт войну? Или опять обосрётся и объяснит какой он мудрый что не начал?
