Trump was satisfied Saturday about the opposing voices on his natsec team, but some of them weren’t so pleased. Internal divisions appeared to strain their fragile alliance at yet another period of transition for Trump’s circle of foreign policy advisers https://t.co/a2frDI8uI4 — PolitiTweet.org

“These people want to push us into a war, and it’s so disgusting,” President Trump told a confidante about his inner circle of advisers, who backed strikes on Iran https://t.co/a2frDI8uI4 — PolitiTweet.org

In private conversations Friday, Trump reveled in his decision to block Iran strikes speaking as if he were removed from center of his administration, and viewing the ordeal from the eyes of a re-election voter https://t.co/upyjNK4h53 https://t.co/zhg6qMpmNX — PolitiTweet.org

After 29 mos. in office, Trump repeatedly has shown that—contrary to his reputation as a provocateur in domestic politics—he's much more cautious on military matters. He tell aides his admin must be willing to finish whatever military conflict it starts. https://t.co/lGS6cVZbKJ https://t.co/X4YiIKXocJ — PolitiTweet.org

Military options in Iran were pushed by Bolton and Pompeo, but Pompeo was more understanding of reservations expressed by DoD, according to administration officials. Pence supported the strikes & also agreed with the president’s decision to abort them. https://t.co/33xf7SzFv7 — PolitiTweet.org

WSJ: The downed drone convinced Trump that Iran was mostly limiting its attacks to U.S. technology and not targeting troops. That approach was a dramatic departure from intel reports that Iran considered a potential attack on US forces in Iraq. https://t.co/33xf7SzFv7 — PolitiTweet.org
