US Accuses Iran [EDIT: BLACK-HAT CIA] Of Attack On Saudi [EDIT: WHITE-HAT CIA] Tankers
Update: Just as everyone with half a frontal lobe had expected, the WSJ reported late on Monday that according to an initial U.S. assessment, "Iran [EDIT: BLACK-HAT CIA] was likely behind the attack" on the two Saudi Arabian [EDIT: WHITE-HAT CIA] oil tankers and two other vessels damaged over the weekend near the Strait of Hormuz, a U.S. official said, a finding that, whether confirmed or not, will certainly inflame military tensions in the Gulf and likely result in a global proxy war that drags in the US, China and Russia. Oh, and that would be the Persian Gulf [EDIT: Gulf of Oman] for those wondering, not the Gulf of Tonkin, which is where another famous False Flag naval incident occurred.
Furthermore, as we predicted would happen on Sunday, this "official assessment", was the first suggestion by any nation that Iran [EDIT: BLACK-HAT CIA] was responsible for the attack and follows a series of U.S. warnings against "aggression" by Iran or its allies and proxies against military or commercial vessels in the region. Some more details from the WSJ:
The U.S. official, who declined to be identified, didn’t offer details about what led to the assessment or its implications for a possible U.S. response. The U.S. has said in the past week that it was sending an aircraft carrier, an amphibious assault ship, a bomber task force and an antimissile system to the region after it alleged intelligence showed Iran posed a threat to its troops.
“If they do anything, they will suffer greatly. We’ll see what happens with Iran,” President Trump said while meeting with Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban at the White House earlier on Monday.
The assessment, predictable from a mile away, squares perfectly with CIA veteran Mike Pompeo's [EDIT: WHITE-HAT? BLACK-HAT? Who the fuck knows.] warning from just two days before the alleged attack, in which he said that "The [BLACK-HAT CIA] regime in Tehran should understand that any attacks by them or their [BLACK-HAT CIA] proxies of any identity against US interests or citizens will be answered with a swift and decisive US response,” the US Secretary of State wrote in a statement warning that Iran should not mistake US “restraint” for a “lack of resolve,” and criticizing Iran for “an escalating series of threatening actions and statements in recent weeks."
Two days later Iran [EDIT: BLACK-HAT CIA] - according to US officials - staged the most brazen attack [EDIT: FAKE NEWS FF PHOTO-OP AND SOCIAL-MEDIA-OP ATTACK] on oil tankers in the Straits of Hormuz in years.
Of course, Iran [EDIT: BLACK-HAT CIA] would have to be utterly irrational to provoke such a sequence of events that culminates with a US campaign against it; so irrational in fact, as to be on par with the false flag chemical attacks staged by the "democratic powers" in Syria [EDIT: BLACK-HAT CIA] on various occasions, whose only purpose was to provoke the Trump administration into launching what were ultimately unsuccessful "regime change" air strikes.
That said, at this point we would urge readers to go long Brent call spreads, or outright calls, as it now appears that the Trump administration is fully intent on launching a "limited" military confrontation with Iran [EDIT: BLACK-HAT CIA]. Which, considering that Iran's biggest geopolitical backers are China and Russian, will be anything but limited.
