“They are trying to destabilize the world oil market and harm their competitors through terrorism. Perhaps they believe they can pressure the United States to lift sanctions. Maybe they think this is a way to get the world to force the United States to let them export their oil. At this point, their acts of desperation seem to be unprecedented, even for a regime that likes operating in the shadows and using proxies instead of getting their own hands dirty.”

Doesn’t look like those pallets of cash Obama paid Iran to be the Deep State’s Army and start a war as an ‘insurance policy’ to PREVENT WHAT’S COMING is providing much bang for the bucks.

Bagster's theory on Iran.

Iran finds itself running out of friends.

In the middle east, they are up against the Saudi/Egypt/Israeli juggernaut.

I personally believe that The Donald has worked Putin into backing off support (to a degree) in a combined effort to defeat the deep state.

It SEEMS that even the EU derps are backing off them a bit.

China? I have no theory there. But it would seem they would love to move in and get a toehold into the middle east. But would they risk pissing off the rest of the world?

Anyway. Now we have this thing.

I think a couple of missiles and sunken raggedy ships should to the trick. Hopefully by somebody other than US.

They do need a spanking, lest they get even more froggy and come after our ships or people.

And that is my theory so far.

For further information and to take the pulse of what passes for international geopolitical thought beyond the trees regarding this incident, see this amazing thread.
