We backed out of the nuclear agreement, which was a mistake. Then:
-Iran plants charges on an oil tanker - No response
-Iran sieges a british oil tanker - No response
-Iran shoots down a drone in international water - US responds with Cyber attack only
-Iran attacks Saudi ARAMCO - act of war - no response
-Iran kills a CIA agent and hurts other personnel in a rocket attack - US launches attacks on bases
-Iran directs militias to storm US soil in Iraq (Embassy) - US deploys forces
US Kills the mastermind of the murder and maiming of thousands of US soldiers = we want war?
We don't want it, but we are ready for it, and Iran will cease to exist as far as its leadership. US will barely notice.
Yeah...uh you kind of forgot the part about trying to strangle iran economically which I imagine many nations would consider an act of war.
The seizing of the oil tanker was in retaliation for the british act of piracy against an iranian tanker in gibraltar.
As for the attacks on the other tankers there was no proof that iran did it,tho if you are going to wage economic warfare against iran you might first want to consider the potential repercussions of such a policy,not to mention that iran by virtue of its geography and its control of the strait of hormuz is the gatekeeper to the upper persian gulf and in real terms effectively controls the oil tap for almost a third of the worlds sea traded oil and gas.
Iran claimed that the drone was in its airspace and considering the number of us drones that iran had shot down or otherwise captured within iranian airspace over the years I think that its claims are just a little more credible,also the iranians could`ve easily shot down the p8 boeing patrol plane that was following the drone,yet they spared the lives of the 35 personnel on board......I dont see that ever happening again in future,do you?
As for the aramco attack the houthis took full public credit for that,but if the saudis thought that iran had done it why didnt they respond,or did mbs need the chumpster to hold his hand while he did[lol!]
You also seem to have forgotten the us long and repugnant history in the me region,you know overthrowing governments[including irans],propping up dictators and supporting their wars of aggression[saddam in the 80s],oh and speaking of wars of aggression lets not forget the invasion of iraq that was based entirely on flimsy lies....."weapons of mass destruction" ring any bells?.Oh and the attack on syria and the illegal ongoing occupation of its territory.
Lastly you really might want to take a look at americas actions in the middle east over the last say 80 odd years,I`d recommend starting with professor Noam Chomskys book Towards a new cold war[1982],tho I hope you have a very strong stomach as it makes for some very grim reading.
