“The Trump administration sent a back-channel message to Iran not to escalate hostilities after the U.S. killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, according to a report Friday night.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. sent an encrypted fax message to Tehran via the Swiss Embassy In Iran, citing unnamed U.S. officials.
Iran did respond to Soleimani’s killing in Baghdad by firing 15 missiles at U.S. military bases in Iraq. But the U.S. suffered no casualties, and President Trump decided to impose more economic sanctions on Iran instead of retaliating with military force.”

Backchannels are important.
Know your history and you will know why.
Q
“unnamed U.S. officials” the DS peeps are still leaking.
And they wonder why Trump doesn’t inform them BEFORE he does something.

SIX airliners flew over the same spot in the three hours and 30 minutes AFTER the Iranians fired missiles into Iraq but BEFORE the Ukrainian jet was shot down.
