    Paywalled. Anyone got a summary? Firefox reader view FTW.

    Given Iran said they’d retaliate, and said when… there must be a technicality here. Like “it wasn’t notified via the UN” or “they didn’t email it to [email protected]” or something.

    WASHINGTON/BAGHDAD/DUBAI, April 14 (Reuters) - Turkish, Jordanian and Iraqi officials said on Sunday that Iran gave wide notice days before its drone and missile attack on Israel, but U.S. officials said Tehran did not warn Washington and that it was aiming to cause significant damage.

    Turkey’s Foreign Ministry said it had spoken to both Washington and Tehran before the attack, adding it had conveyed messages as an intermediary to be sure reactions were proportionate.

    Yeah, technically. This is straight up a lie.
