At the very moment of the Japanese tankers were being attacked; Japanese foreign minister was in Iran discussing peace talks with the leader of Iran.

Iranians were rescuing crew members off those ships.

Iran has not been attacking oil tankers for decades in the Gulf. Why start now it makes no sense.

Trump has been going after Iran for over 2 years since HE DECIDED to pull out of the agreement involving Iran including the UK, France and other strong western countries. None of those countries followed his decisions and he had spoken of his anger and resentment ever since.

This is how trump operates; trying to destroy people and countries that disagree with him. He is a vindictive, power hungry, egotistical, vain and dangerous person trying to start a war. Any war and place serving as a distraction to the investigation of his many felonies and traitorous crimes.

He has no problems using our children as Cannon Fodder to protect his weasley corrupt self.

And you believe that?

True US NAVY SEALS COULD HAVE FIRED AN IRANIAN RPG at one tanker to make it look like an excuse for war vs Iran on behalf of Japan Panama Bermuda and Norway but it could be Yemeni seeking revenge against assumed Saudis

Oil tankers should be filled with concrete and beached ashore end to end dam off radioactive water flooding the entire pacific ocean @ the meltdown fukishima nuke make tepco pay for it all and make tepco executives and their bribed government officials allowing this to go unsoved 8 years 3 months now make all the perpetrators do the labor in the radiation kill zone

The Iranians did some rescuing in this situation and they are the first to say it all appears strange and mysterious to them. Also the "oil and gas" onboard was methanol and naptha. Beyond this my immediate notice was the news on TV saying already that the price at the pump is going up.

I'd believe the leaders of Iran over trump always!
