According to sources familiar with the matter cited by Time magazine, Trump, fearing a leak, announced the cancellation of the military operation against Iran to his aides the day before the planned action was set to begin.
On February 27, Trump arrived at the temporary command center located at Mar-a-Lago Estate, where his aides had already gathered. Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the large number of people present, including some he neither recognized nor considered sufficiently familiar.
Sources said the president suddenly announced the cancellation of the operation—yet this was a deception, as the decision to proceed had already been made. After everyone dispersed, he recalled a small group of trusted confidants—those he wanted present when the operation began—and declared war!
