Looks like Iran was given a heads up

18. The Boston Globe said the Congressional Republicans were not informed in advance after all

They were apparently the first to be informed, but not prior to the strike. The article acknowledged reports to the contrary, but said they were both premature and in error.

If I had to guess the identity of anyone giving the Iranians advance notice, I would suspect either someone in the Defense Department or one of our “intelligence” services. Since we weren’t going to initiate a land invasion, we did not want to risk setting off some kind of Chernobyl contamination of a wide expanse of Iranian territory. The idea was to send a message, not render a third of their country uninhabitable. Now the Republicans can all strut around, proclaiming “Mission Accomplished,” which will fly only as long as it is understood that many of our people have wildly differing understandings of just what the real mission was.
