The real reason why he called off the attacks is the financial cost of a new war that the US cannot afford

there is no basis for such strike

The U.S. Military can cripple Iran in days. C'mon, the technological gap is too wide. The only nation that can stand America toe-to-to is Russia -- and that would even be if America attacked the Russian homeland (with Russia fighting defensively).

I just dey shake my head reading all these comments about the impossibility of US wiping out Iran in a short time. Hmmmmm!!!
I pray America don't strike sha

Trump getting ready to trigger WW3 or this could be one of his lies and cheap attempt at gaining popularity. I recall that one of the speakers on CNN who's been in such a briefing severally said the 1st thing they tell the president is the no. of potential casualties. . . . Trump claims he had to call and ask and it took several minutes before they gave him the figure!

The man is a serial LIAR, he lies just for the sake of it. In fact he lies more than a typical 2 yr old.

Good point...although, Saudi and Iran are sworn enemies.

Right now they are fighting each other in Yemen...via proxies.
If the war truly happens,Saudi will have to support Iran coz Iran is the only Muslim Nation that can Stand Isreal n USA,so if no more Iran,Isreal will then easily invade Saudi Arabia.

Who told you that? Iran just bombed 2 oil tankers, as if that was not enough, they blew up a $120m American drone, did you hear that One Hundred and Twenty Million Dollars. They were deliberately goading Trump to start another Middle-East war before the upcoming 2020 elections, so that Trump can lose the elections because of it, because that would mean Trump has gone against one of his fundamental election promises, and starting a war with Iran could have cost him many of his support base and new convert supporters. The Democrats are in connivance with Iran and Trump eventually saw through their plot and stopped the retaliation attack. Trump doesn't bluff like that. He's the real deal, and he's obviously smarter than his political enemies. They must have sunk into partial heart attacks when Trump cancelled the planned strike 10minutes to go grin

Trump should have at least fired one shot into Iran and then declare no more fighting,but he couldn't try that.To all those saying US will wipe out Iran in 15min,keep on dreaming or do you think this is Thanos vs Avengers.Even small Nigeria with No missile ,he can't finish in 15min.
Even if the war begins now,Trump only believes he will get to Iran through help from Saudi Arabia,UAE n others but in reality the Saudi people won't allow the Saudi Royal to give such help to USA,in the end Saudi would actually support Iran.

Your last line is contradictory to d current relationship btw Iran n Saudi

All things being equal. In an event of all-out nuclear war, Iran stands no chance.

Conventionally....YES.

Practically....That's where the problem is.

Invading Iran is going to do lots of things.

1.Destabilze the Middle East further...and note that Iraq and Afghanistan, who are next door...are not exactly stable.

2.Russia is going to come into the war. Russia may not be as strong as the US...but they still pack a big punch. And Russia won't like the idea of US troops in Iran...too close to their borders....

3.Iran is a big sponsor of terrorisim...ie...gurellia force capability that can be used to devastating effect against the Americans.

4.America has not gotten out of Iraq and Afghanistan. One more war....

Lol, you're incredibly funny, Iran currently has a standing force of 1million troops, plus they will fight an asymmetric war with the US, Iran has sympathizers in Afganistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen and Syria that will attack US allies and cause regional instability they will spread the US out on all fronts, the US will definitely suffer for it because of the global economy consequences which is exactly what Iran wants and US can't afford such at the moment with their ongoing trade war with China again, they are TOAST!!

North Korea isn’t tripping USA, the USA has been calling for diplomatic solutions in north Korea which was successful during the time of George Bush and the former prime minister of North Korea who happens to be the father of the current prime minister. The USA is just continuing the pact of dipolmacy. See what George Bush did in Iraq and the Middle East despite the nuclear war heads they posses, if it was George Bush in Trump situation and Iran is doing all of this I can bet you Iran will be burning right now and that applies to North Korea too, yiu can’t say trump or the USA is weak despite what he did to Syria in just a short time. Trump is taking the long short he’s letting the Iran people know he values there life and he’s not gonna take it because of a drone and that message is clear enough untop of the sanctions imposed by the USA and the protest and civic unrest the media is not reporting in Iran. A lot is astake for Iran because if trump strikes that would lead to more strikes and opposition would be stronger in Iran and the possibility of a long yearned regime change could happen, China gets 60% of his oil in Iran while japan gets about 20%, USA gets little and they don’t care if they get nothing. So Iran needs to be very careful because they will be facing a major distaster if they dare the USA again

The real reason is the 2020 elections. If them born Iran well, let them strike another US drone after Trump wins the 2020 elections. Trump just postponed their punishment day.

Well that is wisdom, the 150 that will die from d strike is not proportional to d unman drone. The report also say there was plane carrying about 36 people close to where the drone was strike down. They were warn by the iranians, to leave their airspace and they did.
It show iran does not want trouble, only guiding themselves, but suppose plane was short down, Trump would have fir back bcus is proportional.

Here in Nigeria us submarine came to our territory, at Lagos and spend days without our military noticed it, and left, after taking a survey, suppose they wanted to strike us it would have been an easy thing.

To those that think otherwise: if Iran squared up against Israel, it would be doing so at a substantial disadvantage. Pakistan, the strongest Moslem nation -- not Egypt, Turkey nor Saudi Arabia, should be a more suitable adversary for Israel. And even at that, Israel is miles ahead of Pakistan in technology. They are both nuclear-armed, however, Israel has second strike capability i.e. if you nuked the whole of Israel today and wipe it off, it has ballistic missile submarines underwater primed to fire nuclear-tipped Jericho missiles -- it would retaliate.

Olodo. How many American soldiers lost their lives in ordinary Iraq?

this news came around yesterday while we trying to ascertain Trump's decision at the moment I for one believe this was a threat issued for any further military options Iran may seek to be exploring at the moment.
tensions are high statistically speaking the USA can't afford a war right now , the China are still their biggest problems and its a financial war which would hurt both countries and the US will suffer more so for another war with Iran over an unmanned drone attack ,it would Also be viewed as harsh and in rational by the world at large .

Trump's decision for now is best , you can't fight two counties at same time.
