Election fears reversed Trump decision on Iran strike: Analyst
Political commentator Jason Unruhe says the US president called off an alleged retaliatory strike on Iran to avoid voter backlash at home rather than to save lives on the ground in Iran.
"Trump is actually just winging it and is being perhaps very careful about where he goes because anything he does right now will certainly reflect upon the next election."
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced on Thursday that its air defense force had shot down a sophisticated RQ-4 Global Hawk after the American surveillance aircraft violated Iranian airspace despite several warnings.
Trump on Thursday morning warned that Iran’s decision to shoot down the US drone was “a big mistake,” and then reportedly approved military strikes against the country but pulled back late on Thursday after conferring with national security advisers and congressional leaders.
