Iran has its own intel, and they aren't in the dark about U.S. military operations. They would already know if a attack was coming, even if not exactly when and where.

If a attack was really in progress then civilian air traffic would have already been warned off before, not after the attack started. There would be too much risk of airliners getting shot down in the cross fire. That should be obvious to every journalist covering this story.

It is unlikely that the President would have already ordered a attack, not tell Pelosi about it, no matter what we think of her. Then he meets with her today, does not mention at attack at all, and then supposedly calls off a attack that is already underway. This is the same President who bombed ISIS out of existence while they hid around civilians.

This story doesn't fit with Trump's actions as President, or how Presidents and Congress make decisions over using the military. I'm thinking the NYT times story is either made up, or they are reading into what information they have what they want to believe.

I just know that we have a long-standing tradition at FR of not posting about US military movements during such critical times. You never know what the other side might have missed. :)

I got that...so in essence the NY Times story was a bunch of smoke...either by the Times or the administration wanting to create smoke...

Just sink their damn navy, already. They do want war. If they continue to get in your face after you sink their navy, wreck a few things inland.

I like that.

no boots. just air force and navy.

Where are the kurds? They’re the bets fighters in the area. Push for a revolution from the yoots, like the failed one under obama.

as long as no Americans die.

The Iranians expect an attack, they could well launch a SAM swarm that will home on anything flying.

The US could bankrupt their SAM missile supply by sending up unarmed drones that leave a signal like a B-52. (Electronically or by dropping chaff).

The story is consistent with the Deep State trying to manufacture a war, and Trump not falling for the ruse.

Better yet, openly support a secessionist movement among the Akhwazis. They are Arabic-speaking, oppressed, and most of the Iranian oil fields are on their land. It is utterly win/win. Send in some Green Berets and Seals, some military equipment, and give them some intelligence. Oh, and bomb something in Iran, just so we can say that we hit them back.

I have no doubt that during the kenyan occupation, valjar managed to get many of her peeps embedded in very high and sensitive positions.

Most planes are avoiding the Iranian coastal area from the straits into the Gulf of Oman.

There is one Aeroflot flying from Dubai towards Bandar Abas.

The Russians don’t give a shite.

“Lots of foreign airlines flying around the area.”

The majority of them are Saudi, Qatar and Paki airlines.

Yeah but isn’t it refreshing to not have a President announce exactly what he’s planning to do?
