Perhaps this is all an accident. The Iranians probably have some areas mined because, you know, USA being around and seemingly invading everything in the vicinity.

The whole strait area is very small. Perhaps a mine floated off course, and boat sailed too close to it.

If a foreign country was flying drones that close to the U.S. we would shoot it down. This idea that we can do things but others can't has to stop.

Right on cue per instructions by Pompeo.

Tomorrow, Netanyahu will sing his part of the chorus.

There is video of the Iranians trying to remove one of their defective mines from a ship hull. It looked like a cleanup job caught on video. I’m sure you will say that is not proof but who else in that region has the ability to mine the shipping lane?
Why was the US the only country that reported this in a well travelled area.

The other nations have refused to sing their parts of the chorus that got mailed out by the U.S. State Department.

They are getting tired of our B.S. A few have been noting that this was going to happen.

Because if not, I believe the occupants of that boat were Netanyahu, King Salman, Bolton and Pompeo.
I don’t believe this for a minute. This is simply your bias showing. The boat video is very strong evidence of Iranian involvement.
