I am grateful for the stellar support of @nytimes leadership voiced in this statement as I've faced months of harassment, slander, death & rape threat from some Iran opposition groups & trolls. Thank you @deanbaquet @cliffordlevy @meslackman et al

News: Iran gave advanced notice to Qatar that attacks were coming, as a way to minimize casualties, said three Iranian officials. Iran symbolically needed to strike back at the U.S. but at the same time carry it out in a way that allowed all sides an exit ramp, as it did in 2020.
