(453 posts)Mines made in Iran in waters where the Iranians actually live does not mean the Iranian placed the mine on the ships. Who has access to the Straits? Who operates in these straits? Who has the most to GAIN with this action? Who has the most to LOSE with this action?
Iran has an agreement with the nations that they are abiding by. The US withdrew from the single best opportunity to change things for the better with Iran. That possibility does not sit well with Saudis or Israel and they have made it a point to say they wanted to destroy the agreement.
Who has history of lying us into military conflicts... I rest my case.
