Anyone else troubled by the claims that Iran is responsible for attacks...?

...on oil tankers ? I personally cannot agree with those allegations. It doesn't make sense. I think that another country (possibly an alliance) that wants to start a war there is responsible. The last thing Iran wants or needs now is war. It's ridiculous to suggest it is them without proof.
I think it is a false flag attack. Yes, that term that us "conspiracy theorists" like to use. It is what it is though...a false flag attack. My opinion and I'm not forcing it on you. Just think about it.

No alliance wants to start a war. Possibly multi-national corporations do (for the profit of it), but they would not risk their brands to do it even if they had the resources to do it. It is not yet clear who started it and with everyone denying it, we know one thing: the country with the least interest in having a war (by your calculation: Iran) is probably the most likely culprit.

@MarkPaul Probably is not proof. Iraq "definitely" had WMD according to certain highly trained and incredibly well equiped intelligence agencies. But then...oops....sorry...we were wrong and found no such weapons. Meanwhile....millions of peole suffered in some way. So probably is not anywhere near good enough.
You are entitled to your opinion though. Thanks for answering.

@Wraithorn No WMD in Iraq does not prove future provocations in the region, or anywhere else. The thing with conspiracy theories is they rely on a thread of evidence that is magnified at least tenfold and then threaded with an imaginary needle that only believers are able to see. That doesn't make the needle any less of a delusion.
