Iran sent people to rescue the crew members on the cargo ships. I highly doubt they'd do that if they deliberately attacked them. This is a Wag the Dog situation. Bolton desperately wants to go to war with Iran & is trying to make up excuses. I'd still like to know who shot at the vessels though-- we may never know.
So Bolton had someone place the bomb on the ship?
 
Was the video on Fox?
Were they sure it was Iranian & that was what it was doing?
The people on the boat said it was bullets flying.
I'm not saying that Bolton had this done, but I think that Bolton will jump at any excuse to start a war with Iran & will blame this on them to do it.

There are some people who claim GW Bush somehow orchestrated 9-11 but I think that is tinfoil hat business & think it's more likely that his administration took advantage of the anger over it to go after Iraq when most of them were from Saudi Arabia (the same country that Trump is trying to sell weapons to). I remember my father commenting back then that Iran was actually more of a threat than Iraq at that time (and he was in INS, had the highest security clearance & access to the classified info).

Also, Trump likes to project what he's done or what he would do on to others. Note his older tweets claiming Obama was going to war with Iran to try to save face & drum up support or to change topic away from scandal. He tweeted it out repeatedly bc it's a "strategy" he thought of and would likely use. I can't attribute any honesty to him, so I don't know if he believes Iran is a threat or if it's just a distraction. But Netenyahu hates Iran & he's so corrupt he's been indicted.
 
I saw the video on TV and not on FOX. The whole thing is nuts. Bombs placed on ship, way above water line............ Iranian military places the, then removes them, then shoots heavy artillery at ship catching it on fire.
Has anyone interviewed the people on board the ship and asked them what happened?
 
Face the Nation, Adam Schiff D:
"Iran is definitely behind these attacks." They placed the bombs, then retrieved them after they failed to detonate" "I'm sure there are heads rolling in Iran"
 
He added, that they did this in an effort to raise oil prices, and relieve sanctions and that their attempt will backfire.
No kidding? What were they thinking. I bet hoping our military would intervene. All it did is make Iran look even worse........... if that's possible. It just confirms to that they can't be trusted on anything.

And you trust our government? They lie to us constantly. Doesn't matter who is president.
 
That was from one of the most Trump hating Democrats that exists. He knows more then we do and for him to agree that Iran was the problem is enough for me. Who else would try to sink a ship in that area, patrolled by the Iranian national guard? And what would be their purpose? Why would the Iranian boat pull up and remove a bomb...... and how did they even know it was there? To remove evidence is the only logical answer. Who over there would shoot heavy arms at the ship once the bomb (evidence) was removed?
.......and who would have the balls to do it just after the Iranians had "saved" the ship?

I can't disagree, but what he said verified the initial government report........... with the exception of the torpedo part. I think that was a first guess once the ship was hit.
Schiff didn't mince words. He said "Iran was clearly behind it" I mean really, who else could it be, especially with an Iranian boat removing the bomb or bombs from the ship.
 
One of the boat captains was interviewed & said he didn't think there were bombs & that there were bullets flying but no bombs as far as he could tell. But who knows.
There are other countries that hate Iran: Russia & Israel for starters. All of the politicians lie so much it's hard to know who to believe.

Although, speaking of politicians, an online friend of mine just won the primary for a senate seat in the 28th district of Virginia. He's a civil rights attorney who believes in equality, love, peace, & "dad jokes". He's Muslim & was very upset when Christians and Jews were murdered in mass shootings-- organized people to bring food, water, & moral support.

The captain knows what a bomb looks like? Why did a boat full of men pull along side and remove a not-a-bomb from the ship? :rolleyes:
Maybe they were just cleaning a dirty smudge as a kind gesture to the ship owner.
You mean the Israelie navy hangs out in the the Gulf of Oman so they can blow up Japanese and Norwegian oil tankers?

"The Dutch vessel reported to the Master an unusual object on the Starboard side, mid-ship, of the KOKUKA. The crew looked over the side and noticed an object they believed to be an explosive. Due to the ship carrying methanol and already suffering one explosion, the Master ordered the crew to abandon ship," according to the intelligence briefing.

The Dutch vessel took the sailors from the Kokuka aboard and moved to a safe distance.

A U.S. official told CBS News senior national security correspondent David Martin on Friday that the U.S. had a forensic team aboard the Kokuka Courageous as it was being towed to port. Parts of the magnet which held the mine to the ship were still attached to the tanker's hull.

It's obviously Iran. It's more of a why and what will they do next.
 
You asked if any of the crew had been interviewed. I mentioned an interview with the Captain. I don't know if his perceptions of what happened would be accurate. I wasn't there & I have no idea. You also asked who would want war with Iran. Whether or not they are responsible I have no idea. But, something is fishy.
