lol. You didnt read or choose to ignore that the Houthis claimed responsibility. The Saudis have been slaughtering them in Yemen for years, and at times the Houthis strike back with success. They have sunk Saudi shipping, bestroyed Saudi military installations with balistic missiles and you seek to blame Iran, regardless. Is that because Trump and Bolton said so? They couldnt even lie straight in bed if they were strapped down.
As for the attacks on tankers...... the Japanese captain of one said his crew saw the missiles responsible coming in at them over the water.
Bolton and Trump blamed Iranian frogmen, . Did you see how far above water level the holes were? Frogmen my clacker-valve.
Some people just choose to evade facts and believe lies. I think you are very wrong in who is provoking who. Rouihani, the Iranian leader..... he is a mad mullah, right? Wrong. Ever heard him speak, the Scottish accent? He has 2 degrees, including a PHD on Colonial Law he obtained at a Glasgow University. He is no fool. Bolton and Netanyahu are. Trump? I think Trump knows he would open the gates of hell if a war started.
The Iranians are not Iraqis. Iran is not Iraq.And the Yanks have not yet defeated the Iraqis. The Iranians are well trained, fiercely patriotic, and would fight to the death. During the Iran-Iraq war, instigated by the US, who armed and supplied Saddam, Iranian children would wrap themselves in carpet to keep their bits together, and roll across minefields to clear a path for the troops. You really want to take on people with a mindset like that?

Fair call. I would just like to a couple of things.
1) i wonder if Iran wanted to win the iran / iraq war.
or just not to lose it
and
2) i dont think the US wants to win the iraq war. I mean if they win they would go home and they dont want to do that. Because if you have a look at the geography.
there are US troops in afganistan and Iraq. So iran is vised in beetween. And i think that is the plan.
it wasnt really iraq or afganistan. It is US has troops east and west of Iran.
