Hmmm. Fake news, or could this have been postponed to issue the warning for civilian aircraft to avoid the area?

Who is the “senior administration official” who leaked this to the treasonous NYT?
Or was this “leaked” on purpose?

Trump is spooking the Iranians by letting the NY Times have a hot leak. The WH didn't ask the Times to withhold the news.

Yes, maybe this was a head fake, leaked on purpose.

maybe Trump found out it was a CIA red flag operation.

Good if he pulled back. $122 Trillion in debt is more than enough. The Mullahs want us to attack so they can solidify internal support. Even the Shah’s last ambassador to the US echoes this.
Stay the hell out of Iran. It’s a death wish for MAGA.

Actual report likely said, "Planes were in the air and ships were in position, but no missiles had been fired for a show of force. Then they went home for lunch"

Bolton was ready to go, but Trump found out.

We’re energy independent - thanks to President Trump. China’s NOT... they need oil that flows through the Straights. In short we have time to a necessary realignment... Having China side with us - or stay neutral in the future war with Iran is ideal... We have the time ... thanks to Trump’s forward thinking.
And if we don’t get China? Trump’s been making us less dependent on them for any war supplies. He’s playing chess...
