Today's news about the suspected bombing of two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman is very disturbing.
It has been on the news today about the bombing of two oil tankers and it is already being strongly suggested by Washington that Iranian sponsored terrorists are responsible. If this is true then we are possibly on the verge of war that has been bubbling for some time with the USA strongly suggesting Iran, a known sponsor of terrorism, and posing a new, current, escalating trend to "attack" the USA is now taking that one stage further. Trump has
apparently stated we do not want conflict, but if we have to we will take action.
Trump will, strangely, be the man to face that down. He is unpredictable enough, but strong enough, to do what a US President should do if the United States of America is threatened, as it is in effect being from Iran. Weak USA Presidents are not required now!
This is a very dangerous situation, and could be a very costly one in major ways, but also the slight matter of oil prices that, it is already being reported, have spiked already!
Fill up yer tanks, and batten down the hatches! This obviously will be no joke if the situation is allowed to escallate beyond what has transpired already in diplomatic terms between the USA and Iran. Remember, US battle groups are already assembled in great numbers in the Gulf.
I am not one to usually overreact over world politics and 'developments' involving the military, but.............................
