U.S. Prepared to Strike Iran Before Approval Was Abruptly Withdrawn.

[Arminkh]

We should find out what Fox News was broadcasting at that very moment when Trump called off the attack. Probably someone was talking about the means Iran could retaliate if attacked and then named a few of Iran's aces like Khalije Farsi and what they could do to US fleet.

They will attack quietly.they are planning to attack.may be tonight or after some days but pressure is on trump.limited targets are already selected and Iran thinks that it avoided american attack.the game is about to begin.

Or maybe those jets really did take off from Emirate and then they realized Iran AD has already locked on them! And thought. ... maybe it is not a good idea! Lol

CVN Reagan is in the gulf of Oman. And capabilities to have 250-500+ cruise missiles in the fleet. Somewhere around 75 aircraft.

I doubt the UAE would risk the Dubai over Washington's demands. In the advent of a war with US, any nation that sides with Washington in the Mideast, should risk invasion and or annexation. Including UAE and Oman, if they wish to host an attack on Iran.

Among the U.S.' designated targets was the S-125 Neva/Pechora surface-to-air missile system, a Soviet system known to the NATO Western military alliance as SA-3 Goa, a Pentagon official told Newsweek. This weapon was believed by the U.S. military to have been used by Iran's Revolutionary Guards in Thursday's downing of a Navy RQ-4A Global Hawk drone, though the elite Iranian force claimed to have used the domestically produced 3rd Khordad transporter erector launcher and radar, a variant of the locally-made Raad surface-to-air missile system.

One of the targets was Literally one of the oldest air defense systems in Iran’s arsenal?

Trump: ‘Hard To Believe’ Iran Drone Downing ‘Intentional’

Yes babe, it's hard to believe, that's why your drones have to stay away from Iranian borders.

P.S.
Trump fans were mocking Obama for giving Iran their top asset RQ170, now I wonder how they will feel after their tough president also gave Iran another top asset drone.
I predict a 50% rise of psychologists' incomes in U.S!

Everything else aside, you do realize that the drone was shot down, not captured, right?

And that happened over the ocean, so Iran probably doesnt even have the ashes of the drone.

Idiot Mullah's must withdraw the most Idiotic Fatwa ever " Nuclear Weapons are Un-Islamic" to save the lives of Innocent Iranian people. It is very clear that recent Pakistan and India clash did not escalate because Pakistan had the Bomb.

Americans inability to respond is the similarity, I thought it's super obvious!

It wasn't ocean but the Iranian waters of strait of Hormuz (which is famous for having shallow waters), and Iran have already retired part of wreckage.

Maybe Iran should use its superpowers to find some of the sunken nuclear weapons instead of trying to build them from scratch?

Or maybe you dont understand that it is almost impossible to find things that sink at sea even though you know the approximate location.

Are you sure Iran doesn't have the nukes? To give you a hint: After the death of Gaddafi, the current Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei stated why did he (Gaddafi) give up his nuclear project? Iranians are not stupid. They wouldn't sit there and let others nukes on them while they had the chance to develop them.

Trump is definitely showing some resistance against the deep state and the war hawks that are pushing for an armed confrontation. If he avoids a military conflict with Iran, it could help him politically in 2020. His base isn't Really interested in overseas wars.

US turned tail and ran because it has an undecided leader in the whitehouse.

This.

"You will soon find out"
"Can't believe it was intentional"
And now an "aborted" military attack

Reminds me of those coward guys in the school. They have all the advanced equipment yet they can't bully sh!t.
