Iran warned the U.S. via a European embassy of missile attack so troops had THREE HOURS to prepare - and Tehran made sure American satellites could detect their plans, report claims
*U.S. officials say they had three hours warning of the Iranian missile strikes
*They say Iran tipped the U.S. off about attacks via a European embassy
The officials say the Iranians also ensured their plans were easily detectable to the U.S. via satellites and eavesdropping
*An official said the hours-long warning enabled a U.S. military officer to visit one of the bases in Iraq and warn them of when and where the missiles would strike
*The top U.S. military officer had said earlier on Wednesday that Iran's missile attack intended to kill U.S. personnel at Iraq's al-Asad airbase
*Donald Trump on Wednesday tempered days of angry rhetoric and suggested Iran was 'standing down'
The United States had three hours warning of the missile strikes after Iran tipped them off via a European embassy and ensured their plans of an attack were easily detectable, U.S. officials claim.
The Iranians prepared for the missile strikes on two Iraqi airbases housing American troops by intentionally making sure U.S. intelligence could detect the plans via satellites and eavesdropping, the officials told TIME magazine.
Intelligence managed to pick up the threat of strikes about three hours before they actually took place, according to the U.S. officials.
One official said the hours-long warning enabled a U.S. military officer to visit one of the bases in Iraq and warn them of when and where the missiles were expected to strike.
The revelations are in stark contrast to remarks made by the top U.S. military officer on Wednesday just hours after President Donald Trump on Wednesday suggested Iran was 'standing down'.
