What and America doesn't? This is the sort of hypocrisy that we as a nation project out into the world. Its why most of the planet despises us.

I dont entirely disagree.

But my post was focusing on those that very ignorantly believe that Iran is a just a nation simply defending itself, and not having any imperialistic designs of their own.

NPR said nothing of the sort.

I’m not sure why you are calling Iran the world largest sponsor of terrorrism. Alqadea, ISIS And all those terrorist groups originated in Saudi Arabia. As far as developing nuclear weapons if we develop them why can they?

ALQ started in Afghanistan...ISIS was formed in 1998 in Syria

In this case they are just a nation defending themselves and we are acting like an aggressive 19th century imperialist power. How would you feel if Iran had surrounded America with its bases and parked a fleet right off its coast. We would rightly feel very threatened.

There will be a number of countries investigating. Will be interesting to hear what some of them say.

Were the earlier mine hits also suspicious? You're aware of the other 4 correct?

I'm withholding judgment for now.

In this case it is defending itself?

Magnetic limpet mines in international waters/shipping lanes?

Torpedeos fired at oil tankers?

They have done this before.

Good grief.

And the media has also reported that oil prices are on the rise. I’m in a state with some of the highest gas prices in the country currently around 3.50 a gallon. Probably going up. Hoping this doesn’t escalate into another Middle East War.
