Trump says it would be big mistake for Iran to try anything against U.S

U.S. President Donald Trump warned on Monday Iran would “suffer greatly” if it targeted U.S. interests after Washington deployed an aircraft carrier and more jet fighters at a time of rising tensions with Tehran. “We’ll see what happens with Iran. If they do anything, it will be a very bad mistake,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “If they do anything they will suffer greatly.” Trump’s comments came after the United Arab Emirates reported four commercial vessels had been sabotaged on Sunday near Fujairah emirate just outside the Strait of Hormuz. Iran sought to distance itself from the incident.

Gee wonder who “sabotaged” those tankers in the Strait of Hormuz? Anybody have the courage to take credit? Remember it was sneaky, evil, deceitful Iran that provided the IEDs that killed and maimed so many Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. There are many in the military who are itching for a payback opportunity. Suspect if they attack an American warship, all their nuclear facilities will be destroyed in less than an hour.

If we reduce their military to rubble I think we would hear a lot less from them.

Gulf of Tonkin to the 100th degree. We’re not talking the harassment of a us navy destroyer by a couple of PT boats. The straight of Hormuz is a strategic choke point.

I would think in less than 10 minutes.

No, back off. We have No interests there anymore! Let Iran attack the Saudis, they can’t beat them anyway. And screw the strait, when oil prices spike ban exports again like before and we’ll be fine.
