Sounds like good diplomacy. Thanks AmericaIs Reuters an "approved" news source?
Iran informed Turkey in advance of its operation against Israel - Turkish source
So the US told the Iranians, "OK, you can have your retaliatory strike on our blood ally Israel... just don't be too hard on them."
40+ year conflict and Iran had never dared a direct attack on Israel - until now.Really something how Iran's Islamic government only became hostile to Israel three years ago. The good old days of peace before that are a distant memory.

So under this scenario:I find it’s very believable we said “we know you’re obligated to respond, but here are your limits” or something to that effect.

Have you been living under a rock? Everyone knew about the attack, including Israel. Everyone.So under this scenario:
- The United States knew of an imminent attack on Israel
- The United States did not warn Israel of the imminent attack
- The United States did tell Iran to limit its attack on Israel
That’s what we’re saying here?
Iran wasn't emboldened enough to do what they just did. They saw Biden's disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. They saw Putin attack Ukraine again under Biden just like he did under Obama(Not under Trump though). They view Biden as a weak and feeble old man with dementia and it shows. Biden also refused to enforce Trump's oil sanctions and that provided Iran with hundreds of millions of dollars from oil sales. He unfroze sanctioned funds even while Iran shouted death to America. That money now funds the proxy groups that are wreaking havoc in the middle east. Joe Biden has been wrong on foreign policy for the last 50+ years.Really something how Iran's Islamic government only became hostile to Israel three years ago. The good old days of peace before that are a distant memory.

Everyone was speculating with a good degree of certainty that an attack was coming.Have you been living under a rock? Everyone knew about the attack, including Israel. Everyone.
He's twisting things. Iran said they were going to retaliate. We did not "oh we get it go ahead." We said if you do you better leave US interests out of it. I am sure we had some good guesses as to what Iran would do but by no means knew what precisely the response would nextEveryone was speculating with a good degree of certainty that an attack was coming.
What’s being alleged here is - Not only did the US actually know about it, the US signed off on it.
Is that what we’re saying here?
It wasn’t “please go ahead” as much as “don’t cross these lines.”He's twisting things. Iran said they were going to retaliate. We did not "oh we get it go ahead." We said if you do you better leave US interests out of it. I am sure we had some good guesses as to what Iran would do but by no means knew what precisely the response would next
