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.

I think that average citizens, such as myself, haven't seen the films taken of the Iranian naval boats, nor will we until much later.

Apparently Pompeo has a sheaf of documents and films from satellites, which he plans to present to our allies, so that all oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman can be accompanied by destroyers from our own Navy and from the Navies of our Allies to protect them. We did that in the 1980's the last time Iran tried the same thing, under Reagan.

Iran is doing this so that they will make other countries around the world fear that their oil supplies will be disrupted if the United States continues in levying their strict sanctions, and that they will then bring pressure to bear on the United States.

@4meAndyou Yes, I'm sure the US navy would love to accompany ships there for "safety" reasons. It would give them legal reasons to exert their influence there.
That is the objective of these attacks and another reason why Iran would not attack those ships.
They don't want the US navy there and so they wouldn't want to provoke such a situation. It would be to their disadvantage.

@Wraithorn When some folks adopt a wild conspiracy theory, they sure don't want to think about other things that could actually be true.
