Trump says US won’t strike Iran today, amid rising tensions

Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

The United States will not attack Iran today, says US President Donald Trump in response to a question from a reporter.

“The answer is no,” he tells a press gaggle outside the White House. “There will not be a strike today.”

Tensions have been rising in the US-Iran war, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly warned of possible attacks by Iran in the leadup to Tuesday’s election.

Yesterday, two Iranian officials, one of them a Revolutionary Guards member, confirmed to The New York Times that the Islamic Republic is preparing to target US diplomats and personnel, the newspaper said.

About this analysis

The Times of Israel reports Trump's statement that the US will not strike Iran that day and quotes him accurately. It attributes the report on Iranian plans to target US personnel to Iranian officials speaking to The New York Times. No finding on this short update stands.

What it gets right

  • “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly warned of possible attacks by Iran”

    The outlet attributes the warning of Iranian attacks to Netanyahu rather than stating it as fact in its own voice.

  • “There will not be a strike today.”

    The outlet quotes Trump's words exactly, and the headline keeps his limit of "today" rather than overstating it.
