The Wall Street Journal has uncovered the mystery of why Donald Trump changed his mind about attacking Iran this week. His associates and partners in the Middle East spoke out against it.
The Wall Street Journal, through its contacts in the White House, has established that the US military could have struck Iran last Wednesday or Thursday, as President Donald Trump had already ordered military commanders on Tuesday to prepare for a short operation against the Iranian leadership. He was dissuaded from signing the order.
Officials in the US Presidential Administration, who spoke to the Wall Street Journal, explained that most of Trump's associates were against a strike on Iran due to uncertainty about its effectiveness.
