New details emerge of a planned large-scale Israeli airstrike on Iran that was halted by the political echelon after a tweet from President Trump. According to the report, the strike package was prepared from the moment Iran opened fire on Israel two nights ago and was set to take off yesterday afternoon. Targets included Iranian national infrastructure to deepen economic damage, beyond the earlier limited strike on a petrochemical plant. Trump's tweet at 12:30 Israel time, hours before takeoff, kept the planes grounded.
