U.S. airstrikes against Iran were called off at the last minute Thursday night, according to the New York Times. The Times reported President Donald Trump had approved attacks against limited Iranian targets, such as radar stations and missile batteries, and planes were in the air before they were ordered to stand down. ABC News confirmed Trump called off the attack abruptly, reportedly against the advice of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Adviser John Bolton. Tensions had ratcheted up Thursday after Iran shot down a U.S. drone. It was unclear why the airstrikes were canceled, the Times reported, and it was also unclear if they would still be carried out at a later date. The FAA late Thursday prohibited U.S. carriers from flying over Iranian-controlled airspace above the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, citing the risk of an accidental shootdown.
