Smells of a false flag operation. Looks to be from the same playbook that brought us the Gulf of Tonkin “incident” which paved the way to the US waging war in Vietnam, and the infamous “Remember the Maine!” ruse that contributed to igniting the Spanish American war. Both were bogus, trumped up wars that should never have been waged. - Roger Wolsey

Pompeo’s “Tanker Narrative” against Iran.“Thank God my Enemy is so Stupid”!
“I was the CIA director. We lied, We Cheated, We Stole”. – Mike Pompeo
It appears that Mike Pompeo has a hard time kicking his old habits. He appears to be as smug about lying as a CIA operative as he is as Secretary of State. Categorically blaming the Iranians for the recent oil attack tankers has left allies scratching their heads; and perhaps leaving foes thinking: “Thank God my enemy is so stupid”!
On June 13, 2019, as Ayatollah Khamenei was holding talks in Tehran with Japanese prime minister, Shinzo Abe, two oil tankers carrying oil to Japan were attacked. As investigations into the incident were just beginning, Pompeo had already concluded his assessment and had it ready for the press. Much to the audible surprise of the world, and without any proof or supporting documents, he laid the blame firmly at Iran’s feet citing “intelligence”.
To his relief, in no time at all, US officials claimed that they had managed to get their hands on videos and pictures. They presented a grainy video alleging to show an Iranian navy boat removing mines from the damaged Japanese ship. It is easy to understand why the grainy video’s existence was necessary.
Precisely a month prior, on May 13th, four oil tankers were damaged in the region. The United States blamed Iran without any evidence. Saudi Arabia followed suit. The rest of the world was skeptical and doubts floated about the accuracy of US claims. This time around, Pompeo was saved by the video – although not for long! The Japanese vessel owner disputed the presence of mines damaging his vessel (as suggested in the blurry video).
Even allies were skeptical. To enforce its position and allegations against Iran, the Trump administration made its argument based on misinterpreting what Iran had said about the oil embargo. Following Trump’s announcement on April 22nd that America would not renew US waivers for countries which imported oil from Iran, in essence, imposing an oil embargo, on April 25 the Iranian government retorted by condemning America’s illegal demands and stated that no other country could take its share of the oil market.
The Trump team would like us to believe that what Iran meant was the sabotage of the oil tankers. This is far from true. Iran was referring to its legal right under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) which legally allows it to impede the passage of oil shipments through its territorial waters – the Strait of Hormuz.

I dunno: I guess it depends on what your definition of unidentified flying object is.
Some might just call 'em 20mm cannon rounds.
If there is an Object, and its Flying, and you don't know what it is...there you have it!

Unidentified Floating Objects...Well, on the other hand, that's a different story.

British woman Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is currently holed up in an Iranian prison on false allegations of spying. She has a husband and five-year-old daughter. She's currently on hunger strike in protest and so is her husband. The British Government is working to free her. I bet the family is glad that we don't have a Labour Government right now. Corbyn would side with the Iranians and tell them to keep her in prison.
So...how did that accusation of Putin re the Skripals turn out?
Oh yeah...A Lying FRAUD!!!!
Both US and UK experts do not think that the alleged Russian nerve agent used in the alleged Skripal poisoning even exists. Perhaps this is why the British government will not agree to any tests and can supply no evidence.
Notice that the governments of the US, UK, France, and Germany did not require any evidence to decide that the Russian government used military-grade nerve gas to attack two people on an English park bench and a UK policeman. It makes no sense. There is no Russian motive.

No evidence...just like the Iran attack, the Russian collusion thing, 911, and SO many others...

HTF do YOU know the allegations are freaking false doood?
seriously.
Because I do.
If ANYTHING happens with Iran and war, it's the fault of the US that the rest of the world should drop at it's feet and let THEM deal with it.
We don't step up, we don't help the US what so ever; let them flounder because this is just like Iraq all over again and you're a moron if you think it's anything else.

I'm calling Bullsh1T on that.
You would have backed that up with something much more reliable if you could.
Maybe you should move to Iran. After all, it's a hip, progressive, fun-loving Muslim country that values women's rights and LGBT values.
