A weekend drone attack on Saudi Arabia that cut into global energy supplies and halved the kingdom’s oil production threatened Sunday to fuel a regional crisis, as the U.S. released new evidence to back up its allegation that Iran was responsible for the assault amid heightened tensions over Tehran’s collapsing nuclear deal.
President Donald Trump said the U.S. had reason to believe it knew who was behind the attack — his secretary of state had blamed Iran the previous day — and assured his Twitter followers that “we are ... locked and loaded” depending on verification and were waiting to hear from the Saudis as to who they believe was behind the attack and “under what terms we would proceed!”

Iran WANTS us to attack them.
I propose that we avoid doing stuff that desperate Mullahs want us to do.
(Ducking)
And do I REALLY need a /sarc???
So, Thomas Jefferson was a Globalist? The USMC should be disbanded? From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli we will fight our countries battles in the air on land and sea...
What you desire will never happen. Isolationism with the exception of direct threat to our homeland has not been the position of the USA since its Thomas Jefferson the Globalist.
Alberta’s Child, as the saying goes, Some People Just Need Killing. The Iranian Regime falls into that Category.
Yep, first Nayirah perjury and then WMD hoax ‘all the intelligence community agreed on’.
We are allegedly living in an informed society but it still works and nobody held accountable.
I see this mostly as an attempt to get President Trump involved in war during the 2020 election year.
That’s the only way he might would lose the election (or by Dem’s voting fraud too, of course).

Yep, Iraqis deserved it first because of the babies thrown out of incubators and then because of the WMD not to be found.
The reason is the dispute between Netanyahu and one of his coalition partners over military service for orthodox Jews, from which they have been exempt.

Of course it is. Recent Bolton spectacle is part of it.
Trump is surrounded by particularly criminal vicious snakes.
In fact Liberman has a point on this. Why Orhhodox should have all the benefits at taxpayers’ expense and a draft exempt? For what exact reason they are above and looking down on everyone else?
NV, irrelevant to this discussion. W’s mistake in going into Iraq, a country that had absolutely nothing at all to do with 9/11 has no bearing whatsoever on Iran.
Meh, we’re fighting SEVEN wars, why not make it EIGHT..?
Not like we’re $23 trillion in debt, or anything.
And still getting invaded EVERY NIGHT.
Right..?
You might be right. But if Iran wants the U.S. to attack them, then why deny any involvement in this drone/missile/whatever attack?
Unless Iran has cruise missiles that can fire single cannon rounds into oil tanks, I strongly doubt the damage portrayed in today’s photos came from cruise missiles. Can’t see much regarding where the other hits came from. I think most of the smoke from the southeast was the production field flaring off oil when the processing suddenly stopped.
While we do agree that the situations are different in nature the common denominator is how public goaded into support of military action.
