The author of this drum-beating pro-war propaganda is Tom Rogan, who long ago sold his soul to the US/Israeli Deep State and Military Industrial Complex. Only Sheeple who still think kerosene melts steel and titanium engines evaporate but passports are indestructible will buy pinning this obvious false flag on Iran.

Well, the rise in oil prices is true enough. That aside, the article consists of twisting facts and arm waving.

The author states "Saudis might want a United States showdown with Iran but they would not risk jeopardizing the U.S. relationship by conducting a false flag attack." The Saudis will gladly murder and dismembered a US citizen in their embassy and the author thinks that the Saudis care what the US thinks. If it was a false flag attack by the Saudis it would be to give the US an excuse, something like the white helmets in Syria. The US would be glad to take the ball and run with it even though they know it is based on lies

Read the first three paragraphs and dump this opinion piece on the rubbish pile. It is pure propaganda.

This is labeled an opinion piece, but it comes from a source who is familiar with the situation, and the foreign relationships, as well as the military capability. In spite of this being speculation, it is well informed speculation from a military leader.

The narrative in this article is straight out of Pompeo’s Mouth and has been completely debunked. No credible evidence points to Iran as the one responsible for the attacks on these tankers. The US government’s narrative is replete with lies, including that the damage was caused by mines (the type of mines allegedly used would be under the water line not above) and the crew stated they were hit by a flying object. Number 1 suspects are USA, Saudi and UAE.

The article is labelled"Opinion" and is. You may have a different opinion. I have.
