Seemed well researched and had points I had not seen in other articles covering this situation and accusations.

Find Whitney Webbs writing and Mint Press in general provide very good analysis and logical arguments for their pieces. This article provides more context to the issue and the heavy US military presence in the area right now and how easy it wold be for the US to fabricate the incident. It also highlights that just because the US says so doesn't mean it is so - you need to have more evidence before making accusations and there is just none from the US

While there is so much speculation around the events that may have taken place, and whether Iran was involved, author Whitney Webb provided great context to a tense situation. Webb provided additional information that let's the reader make their own decision about the result of the events. This article lost half a star mainly because I thought some of the important details to the article's over claim required me to read other articles.

I believe the most important job of journalism is to question the motives and demand evidence from those that would seek to justify a military conflict. I believe John Bolton has a track record of being on the offensive, and I would hate for a misunderstood incident out at sea to become reason enough to engage militarily with Iran. I appreciate Webb's questioning of the official narrative and she's right to require a high standard of evidence in these circumstances.

Whitney uncovers the news beyond the fake narrative

Very well investigative and well sourced

Wildly speculative

seems very true

MintPress is a joke.

More propaganda to justify another war
