The US Navy now says that it has video showing, clearly, that Iran was behind the attack late last week; that those in Iranian vessels were busily placing explosives on ships.
Moreover, the uranium stockpile limits–brokered in 2015–will be broken by Iran in only 10 days, unless Europe steps in to attenuate the American sanctions.
Since 1979–when Iran took 52 Americans hostage, for 444 days–the country (and one uses the word very loosely here) has been–at best–a rogue nation.
Independent expert=independent critic???
Of course its not. What a ridiculously dumb question. A single targeted response, like Reagan did to Libya, is exactly that, a single targeted response. We didn’t go to war. You have a serious IQ issue.
In other words, he really has no expertise to offer; just a priori “critici[sm]” of the US…
Wrong, the country has been a rogue nation since 1953 when the US CIA conducted a regime change of the democratically elected Iranian government.
Oh, I see:
US equals bad.
On the other hand, ayatollah-run Iran equals good.
Got it…
That’s more nonsense.
Like Obama, that guy is a friend of our enemies, an enemy to our friends, and an anti-American left-winger.
Not if they lack the ability or will to do so.
More often than not all you have to do to stop a bully is smash his face with one very powerful punch.
Iran is in no position to go to war with the US but they are more than happy to push it as far as they can until we show them the terrible cost of doing so.
They are critics cited, not experts. Are you an expert. Again, the people attacked for gods sake are demanding “evidence” that Iran attacked them.
USFP in that instance MOST CERTAINLY does.
Unfortunate but true. Every diplomatic effort since 1980 has been an utter failure.
All that’s happened in the meantime is that they have become much stronger and have become experts at proxy terrorism and insurgencies.
Do you wish to debate the point, or just post sarcasm???
Iranian made limpet mines are pretty solid evidence.
Indeed they are, plus the fact that Iran has a history of this behavior
Casting the Trump administration’s credibility gap into sharp relief, allies like Japan and Germany have demanded more “credible” evidence to support the U.S. claim.

The same Japan and Germany we beat the shit out of?
Not sure what the relation is to that.
LOL. You will see that the person you are talking to will side with anybody at all as long as he can side against America
Not necessary, they have both been staunch allies for over fifty years.
Both however have a clear financial stake in doing business with Iran.
They are currently making a diplomatic show, they know who’s responsible as much as we do and when the forensics are complete they’ll suddenly be onboard.
Remmeber too but have a case of diaper rash over Trump forcing them into fairer trade deals.
There’s much more going on here than you see on the surface.
