WASHINGTON — 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. Thursday, 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.

iran has the capability to deter USA, remember ever since the revolution they are anticipating for such a war. imagine a drone worth 200,000,000 taken down by an air defence worth 2000 dollars

You’re funny. You know that the 2019 DoD budget is over $680 billion, right?

I predicted here a few weeks back and I reiterate that Trump has put the US in such a position that war with Iran is inevitable. Peleka hio Benki

Iran is the last target in America’s bid to control oil in the region. Israel and the Saudis can’t wait for the first strike. I know they are rubbing their hands in glee.

This time round only the UK is likely to side with the US.
Otherwise Trump has pissed of all the rest of the allies, France, Italy, NATO and whatever else are all against.
They can’t go fighting everyone on their own, they need some reasonable support from others at least to convince Americans the war is worth it.

Not really. US will handle the situation without help. There will be no boots on the ground.[ATTACH=full]243844[/ATTACH]

Iran military has released footage of its strike against usa drone clearly showing it entered its airspace. It was also shot down by its own Iran local developed and deployed domestic air defense system. A big warning to the evil imperial power. Our own is enough we aren’t even using Russian tech.

What I really like is the way the whole world including people in the usa are celebrating Iran for standing up to this current global bully. The world is wiser.

iran regime will never be toppled. a country that has been in existence for 2000 years can’t compete with one that is nearly 400 years

America can’t afford another war. Especially one that will cause serious problems to the rest of the world.

Imagine if 40% of global movement of oil suddenly stops. That will negatively affect millions of people in the sidelines like ourselves in Kenya where we rely on middle eastern oil.

The US takes advantage because they know the best the other country will do is defend.
Iran needs to change the script this time round and slip some missiles to New York.

cyberwarfare also works in 2019. Target the power grid and local government systems
