A Tonkin Gulf Incident in the Gulf of Oman?

Make America Think Again! – Share Pat’s Columns …

Britain and the U.S. instantly blamed Iran, and the Israelis started to beat the war drums.

A week earlier, the MT Mercer Street, a Japanese-owned tanker managed by a U.K.-based business owned by Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer, cruising in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Oman, was struck by drones.

A British security guard and Romanian team member were eliminated.

Britain and the U.S. instantly blamed Iran, and the Israelis began to beat the war drums.

Monday, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz stated action versus Iran should be taken “right now.”

Tuesday, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett warned Israel might “act alone.” “They can’t sit calmly in Tehran while sparking the entire Middle East– that’s over,” said Bennett. “We are working to enlist the entire world, however when the time comes, we understand how to act alone.”

Wednesday, Gantz ratcheted it up, “Now is the time for deeds– words are insufficient. … It is time for diplomatic, financial and even military deeds. Otherwise the attacks will continue.”

Thursday, Gantz went further: “Israel is ready to assault Iran, yes. … We are at a point where we require to take military action against Iran. The world requires to take action versus Iran now.”

And what do the Americans say?

“We are confident that Iran conducted this attack,” stated Secretary of State Antony Blinken. “We are dealing with our partners to consider our next actions and talking to federal governments inside the area and beyond on an appropriate response, which will be forthcoming.”

What makes the attack perplexing is its timing , as it occurred simply days before the inauguration of the freshly elected president of Iran, the ultraconservative hardliner Ebrahim Raisi. Inquiry: Would Raisi have bought an intriguing attack on an Israeli-owned vessel, just days before taking workplace, when his greatest top priority is a lifting of the”maximum pressure “sanctions troubled his nation by previous President Donald Trump? Why? Would Raisi put at risk his principal diplomatic goal, simply to get even with Israel for some earlier pinprick strike in the tit-for-tat war in which Iran and Israel have been engaged for many years?

Again, why? If not Raisi, would the outgoing president, the moderate Hassan Rouhani, have purchased such an attack on his last hours in workplace and risk igniting a war with Israel and the U.S. that his country could not win?

Could the attack have been the work of rogue aspects in the Iranian Republican Politician Guard Corps? Gantz and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid claim that Saeed Ara Jani, head of the drones section of the IRGC,”is the male personally responsible for the horror attacks in the Gulf of Oman.”Or was this just a reflexive Iranian reprisal for Israeli attacks? For years, Israel and Iran have been in a shadow war, with Iran backing Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi rebels in

Yemen, and the Shia militia in Syria and Iraq. Israel has both started and responded to attacks with strikes on Iranian-backed militia in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, and by messing up Iran’s nuclear program and assassinating its nuclear scientists. However whoever lagged the attack in the Gulf of Oman, and whatever the political intention, the U.S. was not the target, and the U.S. should not respond militarily to a drone strike that was not focused on us.

With America leaving Afghanistanand U.S. soldiers in Iraq transiting out of any”

battle “role, now is not the time to get us ensnared in a new war with Iran. Lest we forget. It remained in an August, 57 years ago, that the Tonkin Gulf occurrence occurred, which led America to plunge into an eight-year war in Vietnam. President Joe Biden’s diplomatic objective with Iran, since taking workplace, has actually been the resurrection of the 2015 nuclear offer from which former President Donald Trump walked away. In return for Iran’s reacceptance of strict conditions on its nuclear program, the U.S. has

provided a lifting of Trump’s sanctions. Whoever introduced the drone strike looked for to guarantee that no brand-new U.S.-Iran deal is consummated, that U.S. sanctions remain in location, which a U.S. war with Iran remain a possibility. But, again, why would Tehran perform such a drone attack and kill crewmen on an

Israeli-owned vessel– then loudly deny it? Considering that he took office, Biden has actually revealed his intent to liberate the U.S. from the”forever wars “of the Middle East and to pivot to the Far East and China.

By this month’s end, all U.S. forces are to be out of Afghanistan, and the 2,500 U.S. soldiers still in Iraq are to be repurposed, no longer to be designated as fight troops. Those behind this attack on the Israeli-owned vessel do not want to decrease the possibility of war between the United States and Iran. They wish to make it a truth. We ought not accommodate them.
