WHY TRUMP CALLED OFF THE ATTACK ON IRAN

Trump says 'we were cocked & loaded to retaliate last night' but he called off Iran strike with 10 MINUTES to go because killing 150 people is 'not a proportionate response to downing an unmanned drone'

Donald Trump tweeted that he was ready to attack three Iranian sites on Thursday night but he called off the strikes after learning the assault would kill an estimated 150 people.

'We were cocked & loaded to retaliate last night on 3 different sights when I asked, how many will die. 150 people, sir, was the answer from a General. 10 minutes before the strike I stopped it,' he said in tweets, 'not proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone.' He said,

'I am in no hurry, our Military is rebuilt, new, and ready to go, by far the best in the world. Sanctions are biting & more added last night. Iran can NEVER have Nuclear Weapons, not against the USA, and not against the WORLD!'

EDITOR’S NOTE: 3 different sights? That should be ‘sites’ Mr. President. Best you do not call attention to any Biden gaffes.

I think this was a smart decision. It may improve relations with Iran. I like the fact that he is trying to stop wars. Not start them.
