White House Sent Iran Private Message

Axios: “A high-level Trump administration official informed Iran on Sunday of the impending U.S. operation to ‘guide’ ships through the Strait of Hormuz and warned Tehran not to interfere.”

“The private message suggests the White House wanted to mitigate the risk of potential escalation. But despite the warning, the Iranians launched a string of attacks on U.S. Navy ships, commercial vessels and the United Arab Emirates.”
