The intelligence that Iran or its proxies were planning something against U.S. interests in the Middle East reached senior U.S. officials on Friday afternoon, acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan told Congress on Wednesday.
Shanahan told the Senate Appropriations Defense subcommittee that last Friday, he and the rest of the national security team were focused on the situation in Venezuela. Dunford added,"We saw the intelligence so we sent some messages on Friday to make sure that it was clear to Iran that we recognized the threat and we were postured to respond to the threat."
On Friday night, with the new Iran intelligence catching the attention of senior U.S. policy makers, another world crisis emerged as North Korea fired projectiles into the Sea of Japan. "And it was really Sunday afternoon that he came back and said ‘This is what we’re recommending. I need authority to proceed,’" Shanahan said.
Shanahan said it was not until Sunday night -- in coordination with the State Department and the National Security Council --"before any real information was put together."
This shows the nature of dictator radical religious regime of Iran and it's supporters.

Is there a statute of limitations?
