Iranian threats ‚put on hold‘, says US defence chief

BBC:

Potential attacks by Iran have been „put on hold“ by US counter-measures, acting US Defence Secretary Patrick Shanahan said on Tuesday.

The US has warned in recent weeks of a threat from Iran but has not given any details.…

Mr Shanahan told reporters at the Pentagon: „I think our steps were very prudent and we’ve put on hold the potential for attacks on Americans and that is what is extremely important.“

I am not sure whether or not relief is called for, as it is not clear what, if anything, has happened. Perhaps the unspecified and unsubstantiated Iranian threat was deterred by the Hungarian Air Force?
