      Big escalation in the Persian Gulf. Two oil tankers struck and on fire in the Strait of Hormuz, focus of US-Iran tensions. Comes after Trump failed to heed the last tanker warning & imposed more sanctionshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/world/oil-tankers-attacked-in-gulf-of-oman-us-navy-says/2019/06/13/d59b784c-8db0-11e9-b162-8f6f41ec3c04_story.html?utm_term=.d2ebcaa46d12 …

      I posted a clarification to this but it seems people didn't see it. I meant failed to only in the sense of "didn't." Or simply “It comes after the last warning was followed by new sanctions”. No intent to blame anyone, just describing a sequence.

          The implication of your comments is unchanged. You still apparently think that the US should be heeding “warnings”.

          So I take it you would prefer we launched a preemptive strike or loaded up the Gulf with the Navy vessels.

          Heck the sequence going back decades. Same. Iran is not a team player, no matter what your illusions may be.

          If you had to post a clarification, why not simply delete the incorrect post and Post the more correct one?

          Because she would then loose all the likes and retweets.
