Trump tweeted Friday that he called off military action against Iran “10 minutes” before a retaliatory strike was scheduled after advisers said there could be 150 casualties.

“On Monday they shot down an unmanned drone flying in International Waters. We were cocked & loaded to retaliate last night on 3 different sights when I asked, how many will die. 150 people, sir, was the answer from a General. 10 minutes before the strike I stopped it,” Trump tweeted.
