You purposely left out the rest of my statement. Here is the full statement with the most important part highlighted.

"What facts do you have that shows it was Iran who attacked these tankers. Other than American and British reporting that is in contradiction of the Japanese ship company based on the facts from the crew on board the ship"
Basketcase is down to using partial quotes to build straw man claims these days.
He's lost all moral ground and that's all that's left to him.

And what facts have you presented here?
All of the media reports from multiple countries and the Brits (who back the nuclear deal) saying their intelligence supports US claims? Not enough for a court of law but sure more than you and your conspiracy friends have.

Funny to see you talking of morals..

BTW. Iran says they will be surpassing enrichment levels and the IAEA is no longer confirming their compliance with the deal. Sadly because you support one of Iran's geopolitical goals you are okay with Iran's extremely suspicious nuclear program, even after repeatedly claiming to be against nuclear expansion.

The IAEA says they are still keeping to the terms of the NPT that the US abandoned.

Pompeo is now trying to claim that Iran is linked to Al Qaeda in order to give Trump powers to start a war.

So stupid.

Iran shot down a US drone, the US says it was in international territory and Iran says it was in Iranian airspace.

Does that mean the only thing keeping the US from war with Iran now is Tucker Carlson?

You should actually read what Iran says.

Iran nuclear deal: Enriched uranium limit will be breached on 27 June

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-48661843

I'm still amazed after all your posts pretending to be against nuclear proliferation and your criticism of Saudi for even planning a commercial nuclear reactor that you still keep making excuses for a country with one of the highest enrichment capacities in the world for one reactor.

I was impressed for once with Trump as he played it off as if Iran just made a simple mistake. Meanwhile Iran is treating it as if the US bombed the Iranian Parliament.
They take a shot at a carrier and that’s exactly what will happen.

The Iranians are getting desperate. The Euros are falling in line with US sanctions and Iran is caught in a box with no way out.

They took a shot at a drone in international waters after they attacked those tankers, this time they got a hit.

I’ve thought Iran too smart to start a shooting war, the regime (or the military) may be worried about surviving and throwing judgement to the wind.

You don't know where that drone was when it was shot down.

Trump seems to be trying to shut down Bolton and Pompeo's warmongering for now.
I wonder how much longer before Trump cans them.

It was in international waters. The USN has a pretty good handle on where their assets are at all time. It’s also consistent with Iran taking a shot at another drone in international waters.

Iran claims 21 nautical miles of territorial sea, as do a lot of countries, and the US recognizes only 12.

And the Strait of Hormuz being an international waterway means the normal territorial limits don't work the same way.
