As a result, computer systems responsible for controlling rocket and missile launches were disabled. Trump told Meet the Press that he changed his mind about that strike after learning that it would have killed 150 people, which he said was not a proportionate response to Iran’s downing of a U.S. drone. He also said he’s willing to talk to Iran without preconditions.
