OK. Then they did- so they could give the U.S., Israel and partners heads-up.

That makes no sense to give them time to get prepared and their planes in the air to take out Iranian drones and missiles.

I find that hard to believe unless they are total idiots.

A. They are total idiots.

B. "A" aside, they did not want an overwhemling offensive military reaction. "Here is what we are going to do, here's how we are going to do it. This is ALL we are going to do. Please don't bomb us back to the stone ages in response."

Right.

The embarrassment and incompetence of our leaders (I use that word lightly) continues.

Iran told Turkey in advance of its operation against Israel, Turkish source says

ANKARA, April 14 (Reuters) - Iran informed Turkey in advance of its planned operation against Israel, a Turkish diplomatic source told Reuters on Sunday, adding that Washington had conveyed to Tehran via Ankara that any action it took had to be "within certain limits".
Turkey, which has denounced Israel for its campaign on Gaza, said earlier on Sunday that it did not want a further escalation of tensions in the region.
The Turkish source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had spoken to both his U.S. and Iranian counterparts in the past week to discuss the planned Iranian operation, adding Ankara had been made aware of possible developments.

Earlier this week, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke to Fidan to make clear that escalation in the Middle East was not in anyone's interest.
"Iran informed us in advance of what would happen. Possible developments also came up during the meeting with Blinken, and they (the U.S.) conveyed to Iran through us that this reaction must be within certain limits," the source said.
"In response, Iran said the reaction would be a response to Israel's attack on its embassy in Damascus and that it would not go beyond this."

And?

So was the one I posted. They said two different things. Irony?

Everyone wants to chant “DEATH TO ________” till the counterpunch.
