Trump was not keen on targeting attacks following downing of army helicopter: Report
US President Donald Trump was reportedly not keen on attacking Iran earlier on Tuesday, according to The Wall Street Journal.
In a phone call with the journal, Trump downplayed Iran's downing a US helicopter, saying it "wasn’t a big deal".
The paper indicated that the president changed his mind after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine suggested military action during a briefing at the White House.
