CBS? Really?

There’s no reason to believe there couldn’t have been two methods in play.

So why couldn't it be both ? The mine didn't work so use a missile....

“Could be using different ways to attack”

Could be. The question is, who? My moneys on Saudis. They’re trying to target Iran wit a false flag the way Jussie was demonizing MAGA people with his false flag

The Saudis have both mined and missiles, and they really really want US at war with Iran

The first casualty is the truth.

We’ve gone from torpedos, to mines above the waterline (easier to film!) to flying objects in less than 24 hours.
