tasking the Saudis to build a compelling argument for war with Iran is like me tasking my dog to build me a new fence

Statement from the Iranians "Saudi press confrence shows they are clueless about how attack was executed and know nothing about the military capabilities of their adversary".

How stupid can you be to task the Saudi to do anything coherent??? Mike pompoopoo

Disputing Trump claims, Japan says no evidence Iran was behind Saudi attack

“We are not aware of any information that points to Iran,” said Japanese defense minister Taro Kono.

Japanese Defense Minister Taro Kono told reporters Wednesday that

he has not seen any intelligence indicating Iran was behind the attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities over the weekend,

contradicting Saudi and Trump administration claims about the incident.

Antagonizing Japan and having them break off from us constantly now might be the stupidest move Trump has done in foreign policy so far


Japan was basically our towel boy and would jump at any US request. Trump stupidly demanded them trade concessions threatening them with massive car tariffs if not.

They did reach a trade agreement but obviously are pissed off. Even broke off cooperation with South Korea.

Stupid stupid move by a ing re president

Possibly

But the Iranian cruise story sounds like ramblings from Collin Powell

Cruise missiles do not grow on trees, and neither do drones. Missile and drone capabilities are measurable, known things, both of which Iran has, and has motive to use in this case.

Trump’s Awful Middle East Policies Are Coming Back to Haunt Him

Trump’s in a pickle, and he’s the one responsible for it.

By needlessly reneging on the U.S.-Iranian nuclear deal But he vindictively spited Obama for WHCD!

and launching a sanctions campaign that amounts to economic warfare against Tehran,

he has strengthened the Iranian hard-liners and

further destabilized a region that was already in turmoil.

By enabling Saudi Arabia in bombing Yemen and carrying out horrendous war crimes,

he has contributed to a terrible humanitarian crisis:

about 3.3 million of the Yemenis who have fled remain displaced, and

another fourteen million desperately need food, medicine, and other assistance.

So far in his Presidency,

Trump has largely escaped personal responsibility or political consequences for his bad and foolhardy policies.

Now some of the repercussions are hitting home.

Admittedly, no one can tell with certainty which way Iran will go. It is true that Iran has a large number of people who want their government to decrease its isolation from the world and focus on economic advancement at home. But it is also true that this desire has been evident in Iran for thirty-five years, yet the Iranian leaders have held a tight and undiminished grip on Iran, successfully maintaining their brutal, theocratic dictatorship with little threat. Who’s to say this dictatorship will not prevail for another ten, twenty, or thirty years?

To me, the very real risk that Iran will not moderate and will, instead, use the agreement to pursue its nefarious goals is too great.

Therefore, I will vote to disapprove the agreement, not because I believe war is a viable or desirable option, nor to challenge the path of diplomacy. It is because I believe Iran will not change, and under this agreement it will be able to achieve its dual goals of eliminating sanctions while ultimately retaining its nuclear and non-nuclear power. Better to keep U.S. sanctions in place, strengthen them, enforce secondary sanctions on other nations, and pursue the hard-trodden path of diplomacy once more, difficult as it may be.

This specific attack outlines the limitations of that. Iran has little to lose by these attacks at this point.

This was a message meant to outline their capabilities and impatience with the sanctions, and fits their pattern of escalation.

Trumps response is "moar sanctions", no doubt restrained by the Saudis who are now realizing how truly vulnerable their infrastructure is. We may well see some kinetic response, but I will guess that will happen after they have a chance to bolster their defenses.

Islam bad implies America good?

It's weird how soi disant political realists deny everybody can be wrong simultaneously. Neither you being wrong, nor me pointing it out, makes me right.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei approved the attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure, a U.S. government official told CBS, adding that the approval had been granted on the condition that Iran’s involvement could be denied.

While ordering the Pentagon to draft several response alternatives, the U.S. commander in chief said "There's plenty of time to do some das ly things. We'll see what happens."
