@GottaLaff @jdeisenberg Yep. Just slightly different framing but the gist is the same at MSN and US News and World Report among others: Iran gave the U.S. notice ahead of time, to prevent any casualties. So, we knew it was coming.

I don't think he should have praised Iran for giving us notice that they planned to attack a U.S. military base, even if it did give us time to be ready.

Also, regarding the veracity of sources: a simple internet search brings up the story on many media sites.
