Bombenartiges Pentagon-Eingeständnis macht Trumps Kriegsansprüche zunichte | Mehreren Berichten zufolge gaben Informanten des Pentagons dies in einem Briefing am Sonntag zu.

>Pentagon briefers have told congressional staff that Iran had no plans to preemptively strike U.S. forces or bases in the region.

>The bombshell admission came at a private briefing on Sunday, CNN reports, citing multiple sources. Politico also cited two people who attended the briefing who said that no clear evidence of an imminent attack by Iran was presented, while the Associated Press cited three people familiar with the briefing.

>The revelation undercuts President Donald Trump’s justification of the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on the country.

>White House officials had claimed on Saturday that the U.S. chose to attack Iran because it had received indications that the country was planning to launch missile attacks against U.S. bases, according to CNN.
