Defense chiefs meet after suicide drone apparently targets Israeli-operated vessel near Oman, killing two foreign crewmen; Iranian media say attack was response to strikes in Syria.
Israel's defense leadership convened Friday night to discuss what it believes to be an Iranian attack on a ship with Israeli ties that killed two foreign crewmen, as a senior government source accused Tehran of "sowing destruction" and said it was proving itself to be "a global problem."
Meanwhile, state-owned Iranian news network Al-Alam citing "well informed sources," said the attack was in response to a reported Israeli strike in Syria that killed "two resistance men" last week.
Two ship crewmen, a British and Romanian national, died in Thursday night's attack off the coast of Oman on the oil tanker Mercer Street...

Ship? Are we talking here about the USS Liberty? With the current administration we're talking about Ship of Fools.

The United States and Britain said on Sunday they would work with their allies to respond to the attack on the Mercer Street, a Liberian-flagged, Japanese-owned petroleum product tanker managed by Israeli-owned Zodiac Maritime.

Well the Reagan, CVN-76 and the Mitscher, DDG-57 are in position to do so, but the US response is likely to be some sort of concession that will lure the Mad Mullahs back to the negotiating table. Either that or another plane load of cash - worked for Resident Zero, Traitor Joe’s boss. The UK will chip in few pounds to keep their hand in.
No one is going to hit back at the Iranians, unless its the Israelis - but only if the US/UK lets them. China’s watching their ally, Iran.

No. We aren’t talking about a spy ship being placed in a war zone without telling the warring parties, and after promising not to do so.

It’s not a justification. It’s reality. Accidents happen in war. Israel apologized. The NSA continues to lie and hide the truth. You are protecting deep state murderers

Good heavens, I am "protecting deep state murderers"? In what possible way? It is not I, but you who say it was "an accident" and "Israel apologized". So that makes it all better like kissing a boo-boo? That exonerates the 34 deaths and 174 wounded American servicemen from an unprovoked attack on a clearly marked US ship ok?
You may buy into and promote the cover-up as much as you wish, but others of us will continue to wonder if the truth will ever be told and justice provided for the victims that day.

Accidents happen in war. Israel had no reason to think an American ship was in the area. Where they supposed to spy on the roque NSA and US Navy or just assume that the deep state would ignore the president? Do you need me to list the number of times the US has accidentally hit the wrong target or allies in a fight knowing they were in the area?
But then again, I'm not the one quoting a site full of communists, Third Worldists, and people literally on the payroll of the UAE. I notice nest of vipers don't link to any of the formal investigations.

Ah, splendid, and so we end this particular discussion with the highest form of argument known to man, namecalling: I'm not the one quoting a site full of communists, Third Worldists, and people literally on the payroll of the UAE.

In so far as you ignored my first argument, you have nothing to stand on. First I pointed out the error. Then I noted the propaganda mill you used.
