The operation was underway in its early stages when it was called off, a senior administration official said. Planes were in the air and ships were in position, but no missiles had been fired when word came to stand down, the official said.

It could have been entirely made up.
I think the fact that there were four names on the article means that there were four reporters chasing the story, each of whom had some unique piece of information or had confirming information AND wanted credit if a story was published.
The NYT is crap.
But, Im sick and tired of 18-year long military operations trying to create civil democracy in 9th century Mideast s-hole countries. Our new foreign policy should be to leave these Islamic s-holes alone, but if they get nukes or violate our true national interest, we turn their s-hole into a glass parking lot. Bombs not Boots.
“Or was this leaked on purpose?”
I think it was leaked on purpose. Changes the narrative and forces the Mediacrats to rewrite all their stories. As soon as everything is rewritten and submitted for breaking news, Trump will change it again.
The demoncraps control Congress. They can pass a declaration of war against iran with a simple majority vote if they have such hard ons for a war. It's telling that they don't even mention at all their Constitutional power to declare war.
Nobody in the Mockingbird State Media has raised the subject either.
Signaling that Iran is playing with fire and allowing them the rope to cool off or risk hell fires like only “The Great Satan” can provide...
I trust our President. There is a reason for the stand down if he did indeed give the go ahead!
YOU ARE SO RIGHT!
Three and the ever=present Maggie Haberman.
So transparent...
Well you should. The iranian proxies have protected or at worse tolerated Christians and Jews while the Saudis and their proxies actively go out to kill Christians and. Jews.

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT:
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer were seen dancing after a meeting where they were told about the airstrikes on Iran, which Trump calls off?? He caught them celebrating war on Iran? Why yes, yes he did.

“Or was this leaked on purpose?”
Leaked on purpose.
Maximum Pressure.
Sounds to me like your wrong. Trump either called it off or someone in the administration is setting Trump up to look stupid. The cries of fake news about something like this when multiple outlets are reporting look bad. Remember the swamp.
“Ships were in the air and planes were in position according to the NY Times”
Damn... our Navy is getting far more advanced than I thought! Flying SHIPS!!
Totally agree... they'd better have written permission from POTUS.
They not only published news of the planned attack, they published the TARGETS and the TIME of the attacks.
That is a direct assault on the safety of OUR armed forces, who might still have to make such an attack.
Maybe we got them from the Japanese ...
