Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Iran of carrying out an “act of war” with the Saturday aerial strikes, marking the strongest condemnation yet from any American official on the attack.
Asked in Los Angeles whether the US would consider a retaliatory strike on Iran, he said: “There are many options. There’s the ultimate option and there are options a lot less than that.”The decision comes as Saudi Arabia has presented fragments of 18 drones and seven cruise missiles as “material evidence” that Iran was responsible for the attacks.
“The evidence … that you have seen in front of you, makes this undeniable,” he said at a news conference. He said 18 drones had been fired at the Abqauiq oil facility, while seven cruise missiles had been launched at other targets — all from a northerly direction.
The ludicrous knowalls in the media have been manufacturing reports that Trump will start a war for years now. With North Korea. With Venezuela. With Iran. And they'll be the first ones to criticise him if and when he finally does.
And when he said the same in July, before then May & February. Even the identical comments in December 2018. Granted, He may eventually do it. So far he is predictable, with recycling the same old story line. Better than Days of our Lives. While Old & the Restless carries on.
And with Morrison headed to USA - and trump having no friends - we will be asked to go to war with him.

Pentagon urges restraint as US blames Iran for Saudi strikesUS military officials are also privately urging caution, seeking to defuse tensions they believe could push the United States into a possibly bloody conflict. This is disturbing. If it's confirmed that Iran is behind it, what practical or moral reasoning is there for not responding in a manner that severely deters any future attacks? Should no one ever respond to aggression since it could lead to further conflict? 🙄 I thought Saudi also proved Iran was involved,,
